About Us
The Davis UWC Scholars Program is committed to fostering a greater diversity of globally engaged students and communities on U.S. college campuses.
Ensuring an internationally-oriented undergraduate experience is a key component of building a world prepared to approach our common crises with understanding and collaboration.
Our Mission
Since 1962, thousands of young people from the world over have been selected to attend one of 18 UWC high schools with the goal of building cross-cultural communication and understanding.
Our founders, Shelby Davis and Phil Geier, were inspired by this movement. They sought to amplify its impact, and so the Davis UWC Scholars Program was born.
What started with a small pilot group has since expanded into a dynamic program consisting of nearly 100 partner institutions.
