Talent is equally provided, opportunities are not.

We need your help and generosity to provide as many scholarship opportunities as possible, for talented young people from around the world.

Whilst talent is equally distributed, we know that opportunities are not. At UWC Red Cross Nordic, we believe that education has the power to transform lives and societies, and we are extremely grateful for the generous support we receive from Norway and Sweden, which allows us to offer full scholarships to talented students from the Global South.

With your help, we can create even more life-changing opportunities, enabling talented young people to receive a life-changing education in the fjords of Norway.

By supporting a scholarship at UWC Red Cross Nordic, you are not only helping a student attend the College, but also opening the door to a university education and the many opportunities that come after their time at UWC Red Cross Nordic.

Davis-UWC Dare to Dream Programme

Unlocking access to UWC for talented students

Dare to Dream was created by the American philanthropist Shelby Davis to aid talented young people in need of comprehensive financial support to attend UWC.

Since 2018, the UWC Davis Dare to Dream Programme has given over 1,200 students the life-changing opportunity to attend UWC on full scholarships. Your donation doesn't just unlock access to a transformative UWC education - it opens the door to a lifetime of impact. Many UWC graduates go on to attend top universities and use their skills, values, and perspectives to make meaningful contributions in their communities and across the world.

“I strongly believe the world would be a better place with more UWC magic sprinkled throughout. I hope others will join me in creating opportunities for talented young people from all over the world to realise their potential and become changemakers.”
— Dare to Dream founder Shelby Davis
