Forever Scholarships Challenge
The UWC Atlantic Forever Scholarship Challenge is a transformative fundraising initiative designed to build a sustainable and perpetual future for scholarships at UWC Atlantic. By investing in the central UWC Global Endowment, we are establishing a reliable, long-term source of funding.
Our Goal: $6 Million
Thanks to the incredible generosity and commitment of our community, our dream of creating Forever Scholarships is becoming a reality. We have already raised more towards endowed scholarships than ever before, increasing our endowed funds by over £5.2 million since January 2025.
And it's not over yet!
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the van Otterloo family and an anonymous donor, every gift given before December 31st, 2025, will be match-funded.
Can you help us reach our $6 million goal?
A gift that lasts forever
Your contribution is more than a donation - it's a powerful, perpetual investment in the future.
By helping us reach our goal, you will ensure talented, passionate students from all corners of the globe can access a life-changing UWC education, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Join us in creating a lasting legacy driven by potential, not privilege and together, we can empower students to shape a brighter future - today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
Donations can be made tax-efficiently. Please talk to our endowment team to learn more.
If we could somehow find a way so that UWC could become several hundred schools with the same mission, with the same idea of bringing students together from all these cultures and backgrounds, education would enable a better world.
How endowed scholarship gifts work
UWC Atlantic Endowment donations are strategically invested in a pool with other UWC schools around the world. This is a bold, UWC movement-wide initiative open to all UWC Colleges, the UWC International Office and National Committees.
The monies are invested and the subsequent growth is returned to each school or college to fund their Forever Scholarships.
Securing the future: Endowing just one scholarship every other year requires £1.5 million, but a gift of any size can combine with others – so give at the level you can.
Maximise your impact: Donate now and double your contribution through our current match-giving programme!

Colin and I made this decision because we are deeply committed to ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of UWC Atlantic, particularly encouraging and supporting the deliberate diversity of our students that makes the UWC experience so special. Inspired by the transformative opportunities made possible through the UWC Endowment Fund, we are proud to give back in a way that will leave a lasting legacy. To leverage this impact, we are offering our own match challenge – an invitation to join us in securing the enduring future of UWC Atlantic. Together, we can empower generations of students to thrive and make a difference in the world.
