As the cost of higher education has skyrocketed over 1200% since 1980 many students need financial assistance so that they do not start their adult lives with crippling debt. By taking some of the financial pressure off of students and families, we enable greater success in college, helping deserving students who want to graduate with a degree and give back to society.
Students have reported that the most important piece of financial support comes from the scholarship received from UWC because it represented the backing of their community. Instilling a greater sense of belonging, encouragement, and motivation to make it through the challenges of academic life.
