Davis United World College Scholars Program
Earlham is proud to be a part of the Davis United World College Scholars Program, a major philanthropic force in promoting international understanding. A pilot project began in 2001 at Colby College, College of the Atlantic, Middlebury College, Princeton University and Wellesley College. In the 2008 academic year, the greatly expanded program now includes 89 U.S. colleges and universities.

The program demonstrates, above all, the vision and power of private philanthropy committed to the importance of fostering greater understanding among the world’s future decision-makers — Americans and citizens of other nations. As noted in "World Class" in the Earlhamite, the College's alumni magazine, this program is a perfect fit for Earlham.
Davis United World College Scholars Program provides scholarships to students, from both the U.S. and other countries, who have proven themselves by completing their last two years of high school at a group of international schools called United World Colleges (UWCs). Earlham has a generous financial aid policy for UWC graduates with strong academic preparation and demonstrated financial need. The College offers a wide range of partial scholarships up to half tuition plus a $10,000 - $20,000 Davis grant. In addition, a select number of students qualify for full awards which cover the costs of tuition, fees, room, and board.
UWC schools are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Norway, Singapore, Swaziland, the United Kingdom, the U.S.A., and Venezuela. Since the founding of the first UWC in 1962 at the height of the Cold War, these schools have provided opportunities to students from some 175 countries, representing all regions of the world. Students are selected in their home countries by volunteer committees, and receive scholarships to attend the United World College schools.
