Financial Aid for UWC Students
The College is committed to maintaining a diverse campus by providing significant financial aid to all of our International students, but particularly so for our United World College students.
Global Enrichment Scholarship
Every well-qualified international student offered admission will receive a Global Enrichment Scholarship of $15,000 per year. It is confirmed at the time of admission and is based only on the application for admission.
United World College Scholarship
United World College Scholarships are offered to students from the UWC program and include the Davis United World Colleges Scholarship and the Global Enrichment Scholarship. Both are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and financial need. UWC transfer students may also apply.
