In May, thousands of scholars completed their UWC education, a milestone made possible by the generosity of many, particularly UWC’s funding partners. These partners play a crucial role in ensuring that as many students as possible, regardless of their financial circumstances, have access to a UWC education.

UWC International would like to express its gratitude to those who have helped to fund scholarships and secure a life-changing education for many students. Our funding partners include the Andresen family, Bianca Vetter Foundation, Davis-UWC Dare to Dream program, donors to the Afghan Youth Appeal, The European Commission, Haggar Group, Horizon Foundation (UK), Jusoor, Pestalozzi International Foundation, Rise: an initiative of Schmidt Futures and the Rhodes Trust.  In addition, we also wish to thank the many donors who prefer to remain anonymous.

Over 80% of UWC national committee-selected students, in their IBDP years, receive full or partial financial support based on their needs, ensuring that a life-changing UWC education is accessible to as many students as possible. 

Alshimaa Ahmed (UWC East Africa, 2022-2024) from Gezira State in Sudan, is one of the recent graduates supported by Haggar Group in partnership with UWC International. Alshimaa’s journey from Sudan, to Tanzania and beyond is a reminder of the power of UWC in providing a unique and global education experience.  The support from UWC’s funded partners is pivotal in giving deserving and promising students like Alshimaa access to an education that allows them to make a positive impact on the world far beyond graduation.
