Dr.Harsha De Silva, an ardent endorser of US liberal arts education who was the first Lankan student at Truman State in Missouri before graduating from the University of Missouri with his doctorate in

Montana State University was introduced to Sri Lanka by Priyanthi and Padmasena Dissanayake when they became the first ever Lankan recruiters to visit Bozeman Montana in ‘08. Since then, each year, a student or two has been placed at MSU to pursue different interests such as IT, Chemistry, Engineering etc. Occasionally a brilliant achiever has also been invited to join its elite Honours Programme – the fast track for the academically brilliant (where Imashi too is invited to join). MSU is Montana State’s land grant university and the primary campus of the Montana State University System. MSU is one of only 108 institutions (out of 4,600) designated as “very high research activity” by the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching. What it means is that MSU is among the top 2% of institutions nation wide in research which translates into significant opportunities for research, scholarship and creative work.
British School in Colombo is a top international school preparing students for British exams. Since recently there has been much interest in US colleges and universities due to much bigger choices of schools and courses, opportunity to pursue more than one major at no extra cost, comparatively low cost, generous financial aid and opportunities to gain hand on working experience through paid internships.
Scholarships for USA (Pvt) Ltd (SUSA) is a home grown venture initiated by a parent having experienced the quality, affordability and multiple benefits of US higher education through her own daughter. Passionately committed to make US higher education increasingly affordable and accessible to the largest ever segment of Lankan youth Priyanthi Dissanayake has been promoting US education to the furthest corners of the island placing students from both Jaffna and Ampara even when the war was raging. During the last few years both Priyanthi and Dissa have spent each summer travelling extensively in US in search of schools which are affordable, offering quality education in safe environs. When asked about the assistance provided by SUSA, Imashi said that she was referred to SUSA by a much reputed educationist and she already knew many friends from Gateway international Rajagiriya who had benefited from SUSA. She added that SUSA was very professional, super fast and very reasonable in charges. She found it reassuring that SUSA has visited each school they promote and found them to be safe.
