International Scholar marks 25 years in Education, Career Guidance
International Scholar, a leading force in educational consultancy, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year at Cinnamon Grand Hotel, Colombo.
Established on July 1, 1999, in the founder’s parental home, the journey of International Scholar has been marked by steadfast dedication and significant milestones in shaping the futures of Sri Lankan students.
International Scholar quickly established itself as a leader in facilitating educational opportunities abroad. In April 2000, the company achieved its first milestone by sending its inaugural student to Australia—a trainee pilot enrolled in a prestigious flying school in Melbourne.
In the year 2000, International Scholar took bold steps to elevate Malaysia as a premier educational destination, offering Sri Lankan students access to top-ranked universities at affordable costs. This visionary initiative paved the way for thousands of students to pursue their academic dreams overseas.
By 2004, International Scholar expanded its footprint to the United Kingdom, further broadening its reach and impact in the field of international education.
The appointment of Keerthi Jayasuriya as CEO in 2005 and Ruckmalie Jayasuriya as Director / Chief Counsellor in 2008 marked pivotal moments in the company’s leadership, fueling its growth and influence.
As International Scholar celebrates 25 years of excellence, it goes beyond mere placement; the company has provided invaluable career guidance to countless others, helping them navigate towards fulfilling career paths, without charge.
Jayasuriya, CEO of International Scholar. “Our commitment to transparency and ethical counseling has been the cornerstone of our success, ensuring that every student receives personalized guidance tailored to their aspirations.”
The reputation of International Scholar was further enhanced in 2019 with the addition of Kumar Sangakkara and Dr. Dinuk Jayasuriya as Directors, bringing onboard invaluable insights and experience.
In 2023, the company welcomed R. M. M. Ratnayake, former principal of Royal College and Additional Secretary to the Ministry of Education, as a consultant, underscoring its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and quality in education consultancy.
The collective experience of our senior staff totals over 100 years, making it a distinctive and unique feature.
“Looking ahead, International Scholar remains dedicated to its mission of empowering Sri Lankan students to achieve their full potential on the global stage.”
“With plans to expand its services and reach even greater milestones, the company is poised to continue its legacy of excellence in the years to come.”
