Eduzone Marks 15 Years of Shaping Global Futures through Scandinavian Education Pathways

Eduzone Consultants (Pvt) Ltd proudly celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2024, marking a remarkable journey as Sri Lanka’s first educational consultancy to champion higher education opportunities in Sweden and Finland since 2010. Over the years, Eduzone has successfully processed applications for several thousand Sri Lankan students, many of whom have now gone on to become Swedish and Finnish citizens. The consultancy has also played a significant role in securing an impressive number of scholarships and tuition waivers – amounting to over LKR 1 billion in financial assistance to-date.

What began as a pioneering initiative in a largely unexplored region has today evolved into a thriving network of Sri Lankan students, graduates and professionals making their mark in Scandinavia. When Eduzone first introduced Sweden and Finland as study destinations, awareness was minimal and interest limited. Fast forward 15 years, Sri Lanka now ranks among the top source countries for international students in both nations – an achievement driven by Eduzone’s unwavering commitment to offering world-class academic and career pathways. In a standout example, two out of the three prestigious Swedish Institute scholarships awarded to Sri Lanka in 2014 were secured by students guided by Eduzone.

Today, the impact of this journey is visible beyond university campuses. Finland has emerged as one of the most popular destinations for Sri Lankan artists and performers – a dramatic shift in cultural engagement compared to a decade ago. This transformation stands as a testament to Eduzone’s role in fostering a vibrant Sri Lankan community across Scandinavia.

“Our mission has always been to provide students with genuine, well-researched and future-ready education options. We are humbled by the trust placed in us by thousands of students and families over the years. As we mark this milestone, our focus is on expanding access to more scholarship-oriented study pathways while encouraging students to consider completing their first degrees in Sri Lanka as a strong foundation for postgraduate studies in Sweden and Finland,” commented Chamalka Alwis Samarasinghe, Founder and Director of Eduzone Consultants.

Looking ahead, Eduzone is committed to broadening its scholarship portfolio and promoting higher education destinations with long-term value and safety in mind. The consultancy remains grounded in its original vision: to open doors to life-changing opportunities while nurturing strong academic and professional networks in some of the most progressive countries in the world.
