About Earn While You Learn (EWYL) Scheme

In alignment with Loreto College's enduring vision to form women responsive to the needs of our world with the knowledge which gives them power to act, motivated by the love which gives them purpose and wisdom in their actions, and our mission to create informed and empowered women who respond to the needs of the universe with competence, conscience, compassion, we are proud to introduce the Earn While You Learn (EWYL) Scheme.

This innovative initiative embodies our commitment to fostering holistic development, ensuring that academic excellence is complemented by practical experience and social justice. The EWYL Scheme is designed to exploit the immense potential of our students as valuable human resources, involving them directly in the management and development of the institution. By providing hands-on experience, we aim to better prepare our students for future professional endeavors, while simultaneously encouraging a deep understanding of the dignity of labor. Furthermore, this scheme serves as a vital platform to engage students in meaningful, positive activities, diverting them from avoidable distractions. The EWYL Scheme provides much-needed monetary assistance to the socioeconomically disadvantaged students, enabling them to meet their monthly expenditures and pursue their education with greater ease and confidence. Through this scheme, Loreto College continues its legacy of empowering women to reach their fullest potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
