UWC (formerly United World Colleges) is an education movement comprising thirteen international schools and colleges, national committees in over 130 countries and a series of short educational programmes. The UWC movement aims to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Students are selected from around the globe based on their merit and potential. UWC schools, colleges and national committees offer a broad array of scholarship and bursary schemes as well as accepting fee-paying students.
