Aspirations Education further helps in keeping the costs low by offering their services entirely free of charge. 

While the cost of an overseas education may seem prohibitively expensive to many, the benefits of such an education offer a manifold return on the investment. Successful students can usually work part time in some countries during their course of study, at the end of which they may pursue employment, further education or permanent residency based on the laws of the land. Upon their return to Sri Lanka, they can look forward to placement in the topmost multi-national and Sri Lankan blue-chip companies with relatively high remuneration and an assured career path, including overseas placement.

According to Aspirations Education Chairman Ajith Abeysekera: “In recognition of our services, we are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact – a UN initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.”

Elaborating on the community initiatives conducted by Aspiration Education Foundation (AEF), he stated: “AEF presently supports projects covering 20 districts offering scholarships to nearly1000 students in over 50 schools.” This helps our scholars as well as their parents to indirectly contribute towards uplifting the lives of deserving students in these districts.
