🎓 WMI Scholar Spotlight: Niraja Bhitrikoti 🇳🇵
We are proud to celebrate WMI Scholar Niraja Bhitrikoti, a graduate of Business Administration from Kathmandu University, Nepal—and the first person in her clan to earn a bachelor’s degree.
As Niraja crossed the convocation stage, she reflected on the community that made her journey possible. Her words remind us that education is more than a certificate—it is trust, belief, and opportunity in action.
“This degree isn’t merely a certificate,” she shared. “It’s a reminder of the people who believed in me and trusted me with resources to pursue my dreams.”
Niraja carries this milestone with deep gratitude and a renewed commitment to give back and help make the world a better place. We are honored to have walked alongside her on this journey and can’t wait to see the impact she will continue to make.
Congratulations, Niraja—we’re so proud of you. 🌍✨
