Forever Scholarships Challenge

The UWC Atlantic Forever Scholarship Challenge is a transformative fundraising initiative designed to build a sustainable and perpetual future for scholarships at UWC Atlantic. This is our way of investing in the future to ensure that education is based on ability, not the ability to pay.

Your contribution is more than a donation - it's a powerful, perpetual investment in the future

By helping us you will ensure talented, passionate students from all corners of the globe can access a life-changing UWC education, regardless of their financial circumstances. A n endowment gift is a way of leaving a legacy of lasting impact that allows us to support scholarships forever.

Students at UWC Atlantic

A gift that lasts forever

Endowing just one scholarship every other year requires £1.5 million, but a gift of any size can combine with others – so give at the level you can.

Join us in creating a lasting legacy driven by potential, not privilege and together, we can empower students to shape a brighter future - today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

Donations can be made tax-efficiently. Please talk to our endowment team to learn more.

If we could somehow find a way so that UWC could become several hundred schools with the same mission, with the same idea of bringing students together from all these cultures and backgrounds, education would enable a better world.

How endowed scholarship gifts work

UWC Atlantic Endowment donations are strategically invested in a pool with other UWC schools around the world. This is a bold, UWC movement-wide initiative open to all UWC Colleges, the UWC International Office and National Committees.

The monies are invested and the subsequent growth is returned to each school or college to fund their Forever Scholarships.
