Allianz Lanka rewards Grade-5 Scholarship toppers with Sisu Diriya scholarships

Allianz Lanka awarded scholarships to students who had excelled in the Grade-five scholarship examination under the Allianz Sisu Diriya scholarship programme for the third consecutive year.

The programme was originally initiated to commemorate Allianz SE’s 125th anniversary.

Allianz Insurance Lanka Managing Director Surekha Alles handed over the scholarships to Jaffna district topper Ananthieka Udayakumar and Theshani Hiranya who was ranked second in the Badulla district recently.

The insurer will be providing them with a monthly stipend from now until they sit for their A/L examinations under this scholarship which is awarded to children of Allianz Life policyholders who have done well in this exam.

“At Allianz, we strive to give our policyholders and their loved ones the courage to move forward in their business and personal endeavors, irrespective of what their goal might be. We understand the value of education in helping them succeed and hence, created the Allianz Sisu Diriya Scholarship in Sri Lanka in 2015,” said Alles. “Commending Ananthieka and Theshani for their outstanding performance, we are delighted to stand by them throughout their school lives through this scholarship programme.”
