A short, separate list from the university pages above — boarding and international high schools that offer genuine need-based scholarships to students from around the world for the last 1–2 years of school, not just university.
UWC is a network of 18 international boarding schools teaching the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (the last two years of school). Students are selected by their home country's national committee (UWC India, for example, runs the process for Indian applicants at in.uwc.org) and then placed at one of the 18 schools worldwide.
More than 80% of students selected by national committees receive full or partial scholarships. Selection is made on promise and potential, not on ability to pay — a financial means assessment happens afterward to size the award, so a student's family income does not determine whether they get in.
When a scholarship is awarded, coverage can range from partial to fully funded, and can include tuition, room & board, books, IB exam fees, curricular field trips, project weeks, visa and travel costs (flights to and from school, plus one return trip during the two years), and pocket money — but exact coverage depends on which places each individual school allocates to which national committee that year, so it isn't a fixed guarantee. Full-pay reference cost for the two-year IB programme ranges from roughly $45,000 (UWC Mostar) to $150,000–$160,000 (UWC Atlantic, Wales); UWC Mahindra College in India sits around $71,000–$80,000. You apply through your own country's national committee, which sets its own rules and dates — for example, UWC India takes Indian citizens or permanent residents aged 16–18 at enrolment, in their final two years of secondary school, through applications.uwcindia.org.
