United World Colleges

For a more peaceful future

Our United World Colleges (UWC) sponsorship encompasses schools and colleges in 17 countries and national committees and selected contacts in more than 150 countries. UWC schools, colleges and programmes deliver a challenging and transformational educational experience to a diverse cross section of students, inspiring them to create a more peaceful future. Applicants for UWC scholarships are generally chosen by national committees. They have a slightly varying selection system, but are unified by the UWC mission and values and recognized by the UWC international office, and by extension, by the colleges themselves.
