How to Apply
To All Heads,
Senior High Schools
Dear President/Principal,
UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (UWC) SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
On behalf of the Liberian National Committee of United World Colleges, I am writing to inform you that there are opportunities this year for one full scholarship and two partial scholarships to some United World Colleges for suitable Liberian students. Two students will also be nominated for a partial scholarship at YOUNITED International School.
The UWCs are co-educational international residential colleges which offer students of all races and creeds the opportunity of developing International Understanding through a program which combines high-quality academic study with activities which encourage a sense of adventure and social responsibility. More information on the program is available at www.uwc.org and ALL applicants are required to familiarise themselves with the program and its objectives before applying.
Please note that UWCs are NOT tertiary institutions, as they only offer a two-year pre-university diploma, the International Baccalaureate (IB), which is administered by the IB Office in Geneva. The IB fulfills university entry requirements in most countries of the world, including Europe.
