Filipino high school students can now apply for senior high school scholarships abroad in one of the United World Colleges (UWCs) in countries like Canada, Japan, Costa Rica, Singapore, India, Germany, and the United States.
The international institution announced that it is looking for the brightest and most talented Filipino students with a minimum age of 16 and maximum age of 18 years by August 2025.
UWC is a global movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
UWC has a network of 18 international boarding schools called “colleges” on four continents, with volunteer-run national committees in more than 150 countries.
Students are selected based on their potential and motivation to make a difference in today’s world, independent of their socio-economic means.
Over 80 percent of students selected received partial or full financial support, including all-inclusive coverage of tuition fees, flight cost, room and board, books, exam registration fees, and curricular field trips, among other expenses depending on the student’s financial needs.
To be eligible, the applicant must be a Filipino citizen 16 to 18 years old by August 2025 and studying in a Philippine-accredited educational institution until Grade 10, and is a current or incoming senior high school student who believes in UWC’s values, vision and mission.
Applications are open only until June 15, 2024. Apply at: https://www.ph.uwc.org/how-to-apply/apply-now
