UWC is proud of its partnership with the Andresen family and UWC Norway, through their combined donation to the Andresen-UWC Norway Anniversary Fund, which has been held at UWC International since 2012. The generosity of both parties has unlocked opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who would otherwise not be able to access transformational education without such support.
Thanks to this commitment, six young people have so far undertaken the two-year International Baccalaureate at six UWC schools.
"The Andresen-UWC Norway anniversary fund is quite unique in the way it has brought together a collective of philanthropists who want to extend the impact of their individual giving by pooling their gifts. I am both impressed and moved by how the scholars from underprivileged backgrounds who have been awarded anniversary fund scholarships are becoming real changemakers"
