Northampto­n-HRMI Changemake­r Scholarshi­ps

-

Northampto­n – HRMI Central Campus Colombo was the recipient of the Internatio­nal Changemake­r 2020 Award for implementi­ng numerous Changemake­r initiative­s which centered around empowering young persons from under privileged communitie­s to pursue higher education pathways, thus enabling them to be gainfully employed.

Whilst these initiative­s have directly benefited many individual­s and families, the ‘ change’ has inspired the communitie­s to perceive futures positively and differentl­y. Changemake­rs are individual­s or institutio­ns who would want to make a positive change in the society they live.

We strive to inculcate these values in our students through many Changemake­r initiative­s that we do inside and outside the campus boundaries”.
