As the nation’s largest non-state degree-awarding institute, SLIIT has disbursed over Rs. 1 billion in student support through a combination of merit-based scholarships, bursaries, and tuition subsidies, ensuring talented students have access to higher education regardless of financial background.

In the 2023 and 2024 academic years alone, SLIIT awarded Rs. 152 million through Semester Performance and Broad-Based Performance Scholarships, recognising academic excellence and extracurricular achievements. These scholarships are a core component of SLIIT’s long-term vision to promote a culture of excellence, equity, and national contribution across all fields of study.

In addition, SLIIT provided approximately Rs. 930 million in financial assistance through internal schemes and partnership-based programs. This support, extended in collaboration with the Interest Free Student Loan Scheme of the Ministry of Education, reflects substantial tuition subsidies to students to pursue degrees in highly employable disciplines and plays a vital role in enabling access and supporting student retention, particularly for those facing financial constraints.
