A Major Initiative: The UWC Global Endowment
To secure the future of UWC’s mission and make quality education accessible to talented students worldwide, the UWC Global Endowment was launched in January 2024. This vital initiative provides long-term, sustainable funding for scholarships, developing leaders committed to peace, sustainability and intercultural understanding for generations to come.
A UWC scholarship is a great investment in society. We are developing a global community of leaders ready to make a real difference.
Make a Lasting Impact
- Over 80% of UWC students – selected through 150+ national committees – receive financial aid, many with full scholarships. This ensures that exceptional young leaders are chosen based on merit and commitment to UWC’s values.
- Your endowed gift helps provide scholarships and opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds.
The UWC Endowment Fund launched with USD 40 million and grew to USD 63 million by June 2025. Managed by UWC Endowment Management (UWCEM), the fund creates a permanent income stream for scholarships.
