The full scholarship will enable him to follow an MBA Degree programme at York St. John University free of charge.

Mr. Hassan commented, "When I was planning to apply for my MBA at York St. John University, my main worry was how I was going to pay all this money. Probably I was going to get my parents' funding support. Now I do not have to bother my parents as I was awarded the full scholarship. Once I saw an advertisement of Rivil International about this scholarship programme. I had my doubts as I am from Kandy. I did visit Rivil Office and met Ms. Jessica for an interview.

I was very confident about it and worked my way up to achieve this valuable scholarship. I am ever grateful to York St. John University for awarding this prestigious scholarship and I thank Rivil International Education Consultants for guiding me towards this scholarship. I achieved this out of nearly thirty prospective applicants. I look forward to my MBA Degree at the York St, John University said Hassan at the Scholarship Awards Night held at Taj Samudra Hotel. At this moment Hassan is already studying at the York St. John University.
