Loyalty Pledge: managed by the Loyalty Pledge Management Committee under the guidance of the Royal College Union, has been rendering a silent but a yeoman service to Royalists for more than two decades. Loyalty Pledge has donated more than 2000 scholarships to date, and it is currently providing educational scholarships to 149 Royalists studying in school and the state universities. Loyalty Pledge has earned its reputation among Royalists as a professionally managed organization under the Royal College Union to support young Royalists.
The financial contributions of old Royalists have been the primary source of funding of Loyalty Pledge to maintain its scholarship schemes. Old Royalists’ groups of 1969, 1996 and 2013 recently made generous donations to Loyalty Pledge demonstrating their confidence in Loyalty Pledge as an important channel to support the student community at Royal College. The economic situation in Sri Lanka has directly impacted the financial resources of Loyalty Pledge posing a serious challenge to maintain its scholarship and skills development programmes and, in this context, these donations offer an immense support.
Recently, the Group of ’96 donated funds equivalent to 14 scholarships utilizing funds raised from their members in Sri Lanka and overseas. The Group of “96 has been a generous donor to Loyalty Pledge in the last few years and they have pledged their continuous support to Loyalty Pledge in the years to come.
Moreover, the Group of 2013 donated 48 study packs to the recipients of Loyalty Pledge scholarships studying in from grade 7 to 10 in the College. These study packs included texts books and other materials required to meet their educational needs when the new school term started in 2024.
The Group of ’69 deposited funds for a perpetual scholarship in the name of their group. The minimum donation under the perpetual scholarship scheme is Rs. 500,000 and the donation will be utilized as a deposit to earn an interest income which will be used to service an educational scholarship on a continuous basis.
The Royal College Union extends its sincere appreciation to these groups of old Royalists as well as other groups of old Royalists who have been supporting Loyalty Pledge. The LPMC requests all old Royalists to join hands with Loyalty Pledge to ensure today’s young Royalists will have a brighter tomorrow.
