DFCC Bank Empowers Sri Lankan Students with 100% Funded Global Education Loans
June 1, 2025
In a bold move to break financial barriers to international education, DFCC Bank PLC has announced the launch of a 100% funded student loan programme in strategic partnership with ACH Education, enabling Sri Lankan students to pursue their academic dreams abroad with confidence and ease.
With global education increasingly seen as a gateway to future success, many Sri Lankan students face the harsh reality of financial inaccessibility. High tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs often put overseas study out of reach—even for the most academically promising individuals. DFCC Bank’s fully funded student loan programme directly responds to this challenge.
The loan scheme offers up to LKR 10 million in financing, covering tuition, accommodation, travel, and other essential costs. What sets this initiative apart is its comprehensive coverage and flexibility. Students can benefit from a grace period of up to 4 years, allowing them to complete their studies and enter the workforce before beginning repayment.

In addition to funding, students access expert guidance from ACH Education, which ensures support throughout the application, visa, and pre-departure processes. This financial and academic support ecosystem makes the journey to international education less daunting and far more achievable.
Whether students aim to study in the UK, USA, Australia, or elsewhere, DFCC Bank’s student loan solution removes financial hurdles and empowers them to focus on what matters most: their future.
This initiative transforms individual lives—it builds a more skilled, globally connected Sri Lanka ready to thrive in a knowledge-driven world.
