At UWC Red Cross Nordic, scholarships are central to our mission. They enable students to access a UWC education based on potential and motivation, not financial means, and ensure a diverse and inclusive student body.

Pie chart showing funding types: fully funded 73 (36.0%), full all-inclusive 58 (28.6%), partially funded 45 (22.2%), GSP 17 (8.4%), and unfunded (NC) 10 (4.9%).

Our generous scholarship policy is made possible thanks to the support from the Norwegian state via the Ministry of Education, as well as funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sweden, funding programs via UWC International and our donors.

At UWC Red Cross Nordic, we do not choose our own students. We provide scholarships to the National Committees and trust them with the selection process before a final review is made by our team, led by our Head of Admissions. The scholarships we provide range from partial scholarships to fully funded and all-inclusive scholarships, which may include travel support, a laptop, winter clothing, and pocket money.

Our Commitment

A UWC Red Cross Nordic education is accessible for all young people with promise and potential, independent of background, without regard to ability to pay. We welcome talented students from a broad and representative range of nations, including a wide range of economic and social backgrounds, students from conflict zones and with refugee backgrounds, and those with different physical abilities.
