Admissions
Entry into a UWC school or college is based on a students' commitment to UWC values and how suited they are to champion UWC's mission. Many UWC students are awarded scholarships directly from the school or college or through the national committee system. UWC national committees are located in nearly 130 countries, some are run completely by volunteers, others have staff.
Applicants for UWC scholarships are interviewed by national committees, all of which have a slightly different system but are unified by the UWC mission and values. In Egypt, for example, the places are offered on the basis of a system of national competitions and specialised interviews, whereas in the Brazil, Argentina, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany and Italy shortlisted applicants attend a two-day residential with an interview, games and debates. In Hong Kong, applicants are invited to attend a day-camp named "Challenge Day" where they engaged in activities such as debate, learning a new language, and group games. Shortlisted applicants then attend a final interview before gaining admission.
