UWC Australia encourages all applicants interested in the UWC movement to apply, regardless of their financial circumstances. Need-based scholarships are awarded to successful candidates.

We assess students for places at UWC on the basis of merit and their assessed potential to thrive at a UWC, not on their capacity to pay.

During the selection process, we assess each family’s financial need and award financial support where possible. The funds available for this support are provided by the colleges and the generosity of donors – foundations, private individuals and alumni – and vary from year to year.  

Scholarships are awarded based on demonstrated financial need and the financial assessment does not affect the merit-based ranking of the candidates. The amount of funding support available will always be specified at the same time as a place is offered.
