The University offers a variety of financial aid to students, including the Mahapola Scholarship, Bursaries, and other faculty-level scholarships.

Mahapola Scholarship

The Mahapola Scholarship is a financial aid program offered by the Government of Sri Lankan to needy students based on their parent’s economic level. Students from households with parental incomes of less than Rs. 300,000 are normally eligible for the Mahapola Scholarship. However, various additional criteria are considered before awarding this scholarship. Currently, the Mahapola Scholarship is awarded to most of the students enrolled in the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka.

Bursaries

Bursaries are available to students who do not receive the Mahapola Scholarship. Bursaries are also provided based on a variety of criteria, including parental income, distance, and the number of dependent  children in the applicant’s family.
