Study abroad from Matale
මාතලේ · மாத்தளை
Matale, Dambulla and Sigiriya families have been sending students abroad for decades — but the local commercial agency scene is thin. There's no office in Matale — students book a visit at our Rajagiriya head office for their face-to-face consultation.

How we work
We don't have an office in Matale — here's what we do instead
Our nearest office to you is in Rajagiriya (~145 km, ~3.5 hours by car (via Kandy)). 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. Direct Colombo–Matale buses run via the A9 highway; most students change at Kandy for the Colombo expressway.
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 Matale students choose Lanka Scholar
Built for agricultural-economy families
Spice-trade, paddy and orchard families dominate the Matale economy and tend to favour value-for-money degrees with clear earning outcomes. We weight our shortlists accordingly — STEM, business analytics, agri-science programmes.
One Colombo trip, one Kandy stop
Most Matale students combine their Rajagiriya visit with a Kandy errand — bank, university certificate attestation, or extended-family stay. We work to a single combined day so you're not making the trip twice.
Scholarship-first shortlisting
We look at funded options before fee-paying ones for Matale applicants: Chevening, Commonwealth, DAAD, Australia Awards. Several recent Matale alumni are studying on full-tuition awards.
