AAUPOC is now accepting donations for both the Needy Students' Scholarship Fund and to fund the additional project to build the entrepreneurship of the university students. With our current savings, we are in a position to support 20 scholarships so far, and the target is 30 Scholarships. The AAUPOC scholarship fund primarily supports needy students in the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka by providing financial assistance to continue with their undergraduate studies.
