When Vindya De Silva – Scholarships for USA’s (www.scholarshipforusa.com) latest student to Truman State University (www.truman.edu) in Missouri – was introduced to Ruwindhu Peiris, Director of Stax, a global strategy consulting firm with offices in Boston, Chicago, New York and Colombo, Ruwindhu had a few comments for the youngster embarking on probably the most important journey of her life.

“Sri Lanka is on a path of transformation and needs its best and brightest to come back home to help take this journey. Use this opportunity to rub shoulders with the best in the world that will be at Truman State to gain valuable life lessons and work experience beyond the pure academics. Sri Lanka has proven to produce some of the smartest over the years. The need is to couple this academic excellence with being globally savvy to take lead of the emerging opportunities in Asia. You are bound to face interesting challenges and choices in the next few years. Nurture and rely on the values your parents, school and country has instilled in you.”

Vindya, an alumnus of Gateway International Rajagiriya and a past Captain of Sports, sought Scholarship’s assistance in getting early admissions with the best scholarship. Among many offers Scholarships was able to secure for her in record time – each with attractive financial aid – she selected Truman State for its affordability, generous financial aid and laid back Midwest culture. She plans majoring in mathematics/actuarial science.

Scholarships is very proud of its initiatives to instil a sense of pride and purpose for young leaders, making them internationally recognised professionals in the very near future making the whole country proud of them.
