Augustana College in Illinois USA recently welcomed Priyanthi and Padmasena Dissanayake of Scholarships for USA (Pvt) Ltd (www.scholarshipsforusa.com) of Sri Lanka to its campus in Rock Island - about a three hour drive from Chicago - third largest city in US.

Dissanayakes, well known in the island nation and among many international recruiters in US for their passionate promoting of US education in the furthest corners of Sri Lanka, are currently travelling in US in search of most affordable and accessible US colleges and universities for their increasing numbers of academic stars.

During its entire existence SUSA has been the only Lankan institute placing students exclusively in US partnering with ever increasing group of schools across US, which are amazingly affordable and increasingly accessible.

Traditionally SUSA do not place students at schools where they haven’t visited first and being satisfied of its quality of education, peaceful environment and safety for its students.

Augustana College founded in 1860 is a selective private liberal arts and sciences college affiliated with Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Offering more than 70 majors including Accounting, Business, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Environmental Management & Forestry, Graphic Design, Neuroscience, Psychology in a community of only 2,500 students Augustana offers the best of US liberal arts education with small classes rarely exceeding 22 students and with a student/faculty ratio of 11:1. Augustana is a perfect example of “hidden gems in the US Midwest” offering sterling education by committed teachers in a very caring environment where international students flourish.

Commenting on its association with Augustana Priyanthi Dissanayake commented that she is well aware of the quality of Lutheran schools having her own daughter graduating from Concordia College in Minnesota not so long ago.

Padmasena Dissanayake was very appreciative that a cost exceeding $ 44K/a was brought down to an amazingly affordable level enabling the cost conscious Lankan academic stars to gain a globally marketable education.

Sri Lankan students would also be permitted part-time work, ample summer internship opportunities due to its proximity to quad cities (group of five cities straddling Mississippi on Iowa-Illinois border: Davenport & Bettendorf in Iowa & Rock Island, Moline & and East Moline in Illinois) and a unique offer called “Augie Choice” where each student would be provided a $ 2K grant either to undertake research, an internship or to study in a third country.

The visit was facilitated by the US Department of Commerce/ Export Assistance Center in Chicago and Study Illinois.
