UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. UWC schools and programmes deliver a challenging and transformative educational experience to a diverse cross section of students, inspiring them to create a more peaceful and sustainable future. UWC is represented by volunteer National Committees in over 150 countries, including Belgium. This unique system enables students to be selected from within their own communities and cultures. The National Committees are responsible for selecting students for entry to UWC Colleges and UWC Short Courses. Each year, the UWC Belgium National Committee selects and awards scholarships to extremely talented youngsters from all around Belgium, through competitive selections, to attend one of the 18 UWC schools across the world.
