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.
There are several ways you can support UWC National Commite Costa Rica activities. Please select the most convenient option for your circumstances from the options below. Thank you!
Time and talent: We need your help with time and talent to promote UWC’s mission and vision through our outreach, selection, and fundraising activities. If you can help us with any of these activities, please contact us at [email protected].
Treasury: With your donation, you will be supporting the annual scholarship fund to give more students the opportunity to live the UWC experience. Your donations will cover extra costs such as airfare, spending money, and other additional costs for candidates who need it.
