Council of International Schools (CIS) Asia Committee consisting of some of the most prestigious universities and colleges in the US recently visited Colombo to introduce seven of its members to Sri Lanka. Initiated as an add-on trip this visit was coordinated by Scholarships for USA (Pvt) Ltd (www.scholarshipsforusa.com) who are committed to make USA the number one higher education partner for Sri Lanka.

According to Scholarships for USA who celebrate its 10th anniversary of placing the largest number of most deserving Lankan youth from all corners of the island, this inaugural visit took 4 years in the making working hand in hand with Kristin Crosby the current chairman of the Asia Committee and the plans are to make Colombo a regular stopover for US groups (such as CIS) when touring the region. In the group are (from left) Sulochana Dissanayake (Director/SUSA), Darren Conine (Northeastern University), John Nesbitt (Vanderbilt University), Dan Grayson (Tufts University), Kristin Crosby (Washington & Jefferson College), Priyanthi Dissanayake (MD/SUSA), Mary Adams (Penn State University), Grace Poling (Ohio Wesleyan University), Rich Dawson (Pepperdine University), and Padmasena Dissanayake (Director/SUSA)
