Melwa offers scholarships to university students : A Corporate Social Responsibility initiative

Melwa, Sri Lanka’s premium steel manufacturer, has further affirmed its commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), by offering scholarships to 300 university students islandwide.

This scholarship programme provides financial support to students from low-income families who are engaged in higher education in universities to complete the respective academic programmes.

Melwa has been implementing this social welfare programme for over ten years. Under this scholarship programme, more than 3,000 students have received financial assistance and completed their degrees through this scholarship programme.

Melwa also works to support other education-related needs of the students receiving this scholarship. Students from low-income families identified by Melwa are selected for this scholarship programme. In line with the theme that children are the lifeline of the country and implementing the concept where financial difficulties should not be an obstacle to education.

Going beyond mere business objectives, Melwa is constantly engaged in social welfare programmes such as environmental conservation and urban beautification, raising the professional skills of the craftsmen in the construction sector and providing them with the opportunity to acquire recognised professional qualifications.
