University and Gap Year Program Matriculation

UWC Costa Rica opens a world of opportunities for our alumni like enrolling in colleges, universities, and professional training programs across the world and living amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experiences through gap years.

Many universities offer scholarships exclusively for UWC alumni.  The most notable is the Davis UWC Scholars Program, funded by philanthropists and longstanding UWC benefactors Shelby and Gale Davis, and currently the largest international student scholarship program in the United States.

20% of our graduates work, volunteer, travel, or fulfill national service obligations before attending college or university and 98% of them continue advancing their education through university enrollment within 2 years of graduating.
