Hettigoda Group Awards 30 Scholarships under the Sahasrabisheka Waidyashuri Deshabandu Ayurveda Dr Victor Hettigoda (LittD) Scholarship Program – 2025
As part of its long-standing commitment to education and community development, the Hettigoda Group of Companies awarded 30 scholarships to high-performing students of Janadhipathi Balika Vidyalaya, Walahanduwa–Galle, under the Sahasrabisheka Waidyashuri Deshabandu Ayurveda Dr Victor Hettigoda (LittD) Scholarship Program – 2025.
This initiative, launched in 2007, continues to provide educational opportunities to deserving students, enabling them to achieve academic success and pursue their dreams. The scholarship program reflects the Group’s enduring vision of empowering future leaders and making a meaningful contribution to society.
The scholarship program is a part of the Hettigoda Group’s broader ‘Project Sri Lanka’ initiative. Under this umbrella project, the Group initially developed the full premises of Janadhipathi Balika Vidyalaya, which was officially inaugurated on Teacher’s Day, January 4, 2007. Since then, 30 annual scholarships have been granted to academically outstanding students of the school, reinforcing the company’s dedication to education and opportunity in Sri Lanka.
Mr Asoka Hettigoda, the Chairman of Hettigoda Group of Companies, said, “We believe education is the foundation of progress. Through this scholarship program, we not only recognise the talent and hard work of these young students but also reaffirm our commitment to supporting the leaders of tomorrow. It is our privilege to continue this tradition of investing in education and empowering the next generation to succeed.”
Janadhipathi Balika Vidyalaya, a national school of approximately 2,300 girls from Grades 1 through 13, is situated on a scenic hilltop in Galle. The school offers a comprehensive academic program, including Advanced Level streams in Science, Mathematics, Commerce, and the Arts, providing students with the opportunity to pursue their individual interests and lay the foundation for their future success.
The Sahasrabisheka Waidyashuri Deshabandu Ayurveda Dr Victor Hettigoda Scholarship Program continues to reflect the Group’s vision of driving sustainable social progress through education, in alignment with its corporate social responsibility values.
