Associate Director of the University of Toledo (www.utoledo.edu) Ohio USA Mark Schroeder addressed a ‘standing room only’ gathering of enthusiastic seniors of British School – one of the top international schools in Colombo preparing students for British exams.

In his brief presentation, he explained why US higher education was considered the world’s best, the vast choice of majors and the opportunity to study more than one discipline (at absolutely no extra cost), generous scholarships to the deserving and how the cost is affordable to many Lankan parents, and how part-time work and paid internships prepare each student for global employment upon graduation.

Located in Toledo Ohio (where the cost of living is far lower to many other areas in US), educating future leaders since 1872 offering over 250 degrees from bachelors to doctoral with a student-to-faculty ratio of 19:1, UToledo would be a perfect fit for Lankan parents seeking world’s best education at an affordable price.

Schroeder’s visit was coordinated by Scholarships for USA Ltd. (www.scholarshipsforusa.com) which since 2001 has been passionately committed to attracting the most affordable US schools across USA to Sri Lanka and has been successful in placing over 200 students (bachelors to doctoral) from all corners of the island including Jaffna and Ampara at the height of the civil war.
