UWC is committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to experience a UWC education regardless of national, socioeconomic, cultural, racial, or religious background. UWC achieves this through selection based on potential and merit, but also by providing scholarships — over 80% of IBDP students selected by a UWC national committee receive full or partial financial support. To continue this work, UWC relies on donations from former students, trusts, foundations, companies and governments.

Without the support of Austrian UWC graduates and their relatives and friends, it would not be possible to send Austrian students on a regular basis.
We would also like to thank the following institutions in particular for their substantial contribution and scholarship funding:
“A world that is growing ever closer together also requires increased efforts to prepare young people for this dynamic process. We need to help them develop their intellectual, emotional and social skills to respond to the challenges of a complex world order.
To accomplish this, United World Colleges (UWC) has created an impressive international educational model. By carefully educating candidates from different parts of the world, young people are given the opportunity to become active members of our global world and play a decisive role in shaping it. I welcome this and would like to thank them for their efforts.”— Dr. Heinz Fischer, former President of Austria
