Study abroad from Kurunegala
කුරුණෑගල · குருணாகல்
Kurunegala has one of the strongest A-L school networks outside Colombo (Maliyadeva, St Anne's, Maliyadeva Girls', Trinity College Kurunegala) — and a long tradition of sending students abroad. There's no Kurunegala office — students book a face-to-face consultation at our Rajagiriya head office.

How we work
We don't have an office in Kurunegala — here's what we do instead
Our nearest office to you is in Rajagiriya (~95 km, ~2.5 hours by car). Every consultation happens face to face — we don't do phone or online consultations — so you book a visit at our Rajagiriya branch. After the visit, day-to-day document follow-ups can happen over WhatsApp or email.
Visit us in Rajagiriya
Book a day and time at our Rajagiriya branch. Your consultation is face to face with a counsellor — parents are welcome to come too. We talk through destinations, courses and your academic profile, and bring your originals (transcripts, NIC, passport) if you have them. The A6 highway is the main road; intercity buses from Kurunegala bus stand to Pettah run every 30 minutes. Train via the Northern Line is slower but available.
Follow-ups after your visit
Once we've agreed a plan in person, day-to-day document follow-ups for your university applications can happen over WhatsApp or email, so you don't need to travel for every small step.
Visa biometric in Colombo
Once your visa file is ready, you visit the VFS centre in Colombo for biometric capture. We book the slot, prepare the file, and walk you through what to bring. Same trip for every student in Sri Lanka — there's no district-level alternative.

Why Kurunegala students choose Lanka Scholar
Strong school feeder profile
Maliyadeva College, St Anne's, Maliyadeva Girls' College, and Trinity College Kurunegala consistently produce high A-L scores. We know which programmes at which universities accept these profiles and what extras strengthen them.
Funded scholarships are realistic here
A larger-than-average share of Kurunegala enquiries result in fully-funded placements — Chevening, Australia Awards, DAAD. The A-L profiles support it. We push funded options before fee-paying in our shortlists.
One Colombo trip, single day
Direct intercity buses from Kurunegala bus stand make a same-day Rajagiriya visit easy. Students typically pair the consultation visit with another errand (NIC / university certificate / family).
