Dialog Technology Scholarships

The Dialog scholarship program aims at developing intellectual capital of Sri Lanka’s future leaders. The programme also creates greater awareness about opportunities in the telecommunication industry among youth of Sri Lanka. Dialog supports interaction between the scholars and our employees, which facilitates mentoring, internships and soft skills development to prepare these scholars for a position of community leadership and service. Going beyond funding, the program includes formal training programs on an ongoing basis to enhance the soft skills of the students and empower outstanding scholars to pursue their future aspirations and higher studies at secondary and tertiary institutions.

The local Scholarship Program is extended to students who excel at the Ordinary level and Advanced level examinations. Selection of students is by the Ministry of Education of Sri Lanka and is based on the best results in each of the 25 administrative districts. Additionally, scholarships are also extended to approximately four differently able scholars each year.
