FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The principle of selection on merit, regardless of financial resources, depends on the provision of scholarships. Such scholarship provision requires substantial funds to be raised each year throughout the world.

Scholarship funds are raised by the UWC Committee of India, the Colleges and other National Committees from graduates, friends, foundations, non-governmental organisations, companies, individual benefactors and governments. Graduates are an especially important source of financial support and the UWC movement takes particular pleasure in the contribution of its Graduates since it is testimony to the value which they place on their own UWC experiences.

Scholarships offers vary every year and updated information is available with the UWC Committee of India.

Every donation helps the United World Colleges. For information on how to give to the UWC movement, please contact the UWC Committee of India.
