Education helps personal development and increases the country’s potential to thrive forward both socially and economically. Over the years, we have been rewarding the high-flyers of the Grade Five Scholarship Examination with exciting prizes, so that they are encouraged to do more and learn more. We at Seylan Bank believe that recognising children for their excellence ignites their hope and as Bank with a heart, we have come forward to fuel their aspirations and support them to become a valuable asset to the nation.”
