...JustGIVING Campaign: Support the Cause, Transform Lives! Join us in our mission to raise £20,000 exclusively for A/Level scholarships.
Jaffna Central College, once a renowned educational institution, seeks to revive its glory days and support Tamil-speaking students across Sri Lanka affected by the ethnic conflict. The UK OBA has initiated a fund to bring 50 bright students to Jaffna Central, covering their education expenses, including hostel facilities and extra tuition. The aim is to help underprivileged students, their families, and the Tamil community at large. The fund, managed by the Jaffna Central College Old Boys & Girls Association UK Branch, plans to raise £20,000 for A/Level scholarships, supporting students' university careers. Currently, 15 students have been incorporated for the A/Level 2024 batch, and efforts are underway to enlist 25 more for the A/Level 2025 batch. Donations are encouraged to make a positive impact on the education of deserving students and contribute to the restoration of Jaffna Central College's legacy.

This year JCC UK OBA are introducing a new scholarship programme for students taking their GCE O/L in 2022. The top 30 best students in the year will be awarded a scholarship. The process will work with us selecting the top 12 children from the overall year along with the top 3 children from each of the six divisions making up the remaining 18 children. Each student that receives a scholarship will monthly be given 3000 rupees for their education expenses. This scholarship program is purely merited based and the selection process will be done by the principal and Educational team. Our main aim is for the students to get the best results possible at the end of the year. From its conception this year, we aim to continue this programme every year. Our long term plan is to produce online e-learning resources over the next 2-5 years which will contribute to our overall mission. Our educational team will work on this project. With this every student will benefit and get better results with more students ultimately being able to go university. Thanks 🙏. JCC UK 🇬🇧 OBA - 2022.
