“I’m trying to stimulate leaders of the future to make a difference through the grounding in education that I’m helping to give them. When I started my business career, I took my own history
lesson from Princeton: I learned how leaders make a difference, in their countries, in their centuries. So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in
leaders of the future.”
SHELBY M.C . DAVISCo-founder and Philanthropist
“We strive to build critical masses of globally minded young men and women on American campuses, to foster highly personal relationships between outstanding
Americans and non-Americans, and to seed global networks. These networks can serve a higher calling of international understanding and common purpose among
future leaders in all walks of life in our world.”
PHIL IP O . GEIERCo-founder and Executive Director

A Year Like No Other
The global pandemic made for a year like no other.
Challenged by unpredictable threats, the rhythms
of everyone’s daily lives were altered, bringing tragic
consequences to many. Resilience, heroism, and
hopefulness joined with compassion, creativity, and
cooperation to bring relief and comfort to the afflicted,
demonstrating humanity’s better side.
For the Davis United World College Scholars
Program, the pandemic, related visa hurdles, and stymied
global mobility brought unprecedented challenges. In the
face of these challenges, Davis philanthropy stood firm,
remaining fully dedicated to the program and increasing
its financial commitments to ensure ongoing educational
opportunities for eligible scholars and expanded resources for partner colleges and
universities. And each of these partner colleges and universities deserves special recognition
for the extensive care they selflessly provided to their Davis UWC Scholars throughout these
trying times.
Results were surprisingly gratifying. The 2020-21 academic year reached a new 20-year
high with 3,429 undergraduate scholars from 163 countries populating nearly 100 American

Bill Kolb (far left) with Shelby Davis (middle), Phil Geier (far right), and the Class of 2016 Davis United World College Scholars at the University of Florida
colleges and universities. Cumulatively, since its inception at the advent of the 21st century,
the program has benefited over 11,000 scholars, and, remains committed even more than ever
to its five main goals:
» provide scholarship support for exemplary and promising students from a wide range of
countries and cultures, who have absorbed the passion and mission of their UWC schools
for building international understanding;
» build meaningful clusters of these globally aware scholars within the undergraduate
populations of selected partner colleges and universities across the U.S.;
» help transform the American undergraduate experience through international diversity
and intercultural exchange — as much for the large majority of traditional American
students as for the scholars;
» leverage the value of this philanthropic initiative — to the long-term benefit of all
learners and their teachers — to contribute to strategic shifts in institutional thinking, and to
bring greater resources to the effort; and
» contribute proactively to the well-being of our volatile, highly interdependent world by
expecting our scholars and those with whom they interact to take personal responsibility for
helping shape a better world.
The Davis UWC Scholars Program is at once practical and inspirational. It reflects the
huge potential of private philanthropy to promote international understanding in dynamic,
expanding ways, through educational institutions that share its strategic vision and are
committed to building greater opportunities for global engagement for all their students. In
essence, the program is about using philanthropic leadership to leverage additional support
for transformative impact on individuals, institutions, and the wider world.
9Davis United World College Scholars Program
This academic year, there are 99 U.S. colleges and
universities in partnership with the Davis United World
College Scholars Program. For partner schools, the
program provides annual grants in support of need-based
scholarships for each matriculated UWC graduate for up
to four years of undergraduate study. The total number
of Davis UWC Scholars attending these schools has now
reached 3,429 from 163 countries. The 2021 graduating
class includes 817 students from 128 nations. To date,
the program has supported 11,264 scholars.

With their education made possible through their own
merits and the help of the Davis United World College
Scholars Program and its partner schools, Davis UWC
Scholars will go on to play important, meaningful, and
often leadership roles in their communities, in their home
countries, and in the world. The partner schools will have
become more globally engaged and more internationally
diverse educational communities.

Since 1962, thousands of young people from 175 nations
have been selected by committees in their home countries
to complete their last two years of high school at one of
18 United World College schools. UWC schools are
located in Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada,
China, Costa Rica, Eswatini, Germany, Hong Kong, India,
Italy, Japan, Norway, Singapore, Tanzania, Thailand, the
Netherlands, Wales, and the United States. The UWC
movement works to build multinational, cross-cultural
communication and understanding among all its students.

In 2000, the Davis UWC Scholars Program began providing
scholarship grants to a pilot group of American colleges and
universities to support UWC graduates who matriculated at
these schools. These pilot schools — Colby College, College
of the Atlantic, Middlebury College, Princeton University, and
Wellesley College — are graduating their 18th class of Davis
UWC Scholars in 2021. Based on the success of building
clusters of globally minded scholars at these pilot schools,
Davis philanthropy chose to greatly expand the number of
campuses and scholars in the program.

University of Oklahoma Wins the Davis Cup
F or the seventh time in the last eight years, the University of
Oklahoma has been awarded the Davis Cup in recognition of its
enrollment of Davis UWC international first-year students, with a record-
setting high of 76 Davis UWC Scholars in the OU Class of 2024.
“We are humbled and honored to receive the Davis Cup once
again,” said OU President Joseph Harroz Jr. “The University of
Oklahoma strives to be a place of belonging where bright minds come
together in the pursuit of collaboration, innovation, and enlightenment.
Our international students, including our 265 Davis UWC Scholars,
provide unique and indispensable contributions that enrich our
campuses and the broader community.”
Shelby M.C. Davis said, “We greatly admire the University
of Oklahoma for its deep and long-standing commitment to our
program and its scholars. Congratulations on again winning the
Davis Cup.”
Phil Geier said, “We have learned how significant a large cohort
of our scholars at a partner school is to our program’s core purposes.
The University of Oklahoma is without peer in demonstrating this for
everyone in and around its educational community. We are grateful to
OU for its role in shaping tomorrow’s global citizens.”
Davis UWC Scholars have earned a reputation of being outstanding
students and exceptional members of the OU community.

An Interview with Philanthropist Shelby Davis and International Educator Phil GeierTheir 20-Year Partnership Has Been Transformative for the UWC Movement, Its graduates, and American Colleges and Universities
Q: What was the appeal of the United World College schools at the outset of your philanthropy?
Shelby: Thanks to Phil Geier, president of UWC-USA 1993-2005,
I was introduced to the UWC movement just as I was turning
60, the age at which, according to our family philosophy, I was
transitioning from the “earning” phase of my life to the
“returning” phase. I have long believed that education creates
opportunities, and saw in the UWC a movement with a global
reach that offered educational opportunities to some of the
world’s most promising and motivated youngsters. I decided for
my return phase to invest in scholarships for UWC students,
initially to increase the number of Americans attending UWC
schools and then broaden that support for students of all
nations from around the world, hoping to create a human
network of future leaders.
Q: What do you see as the core objectives of your joint efforts? Phil: Everything Shelby and I have done and continue to do
together are based on a few core objectives: first and foremost,
to open doors of educational opportunity for tomorrow’s global
decision makers through scholarship support; second, to help
strengthen and transform educational institutions, particularly
UWC schools and like-minded U.S. colleges and universities;
third, to lead by example, thinking our philanthropy and
programs might motivate others to join in their own forms of
meaningful philanthropy.
Q: How can your philanthropy help the UWC be more impactful? Shelby and Phil: We think that the UWC can and should
embrace even greater global diversity and be a leading force
in broadening access to education in the 21st century—more
actively seeking out motivated students regardless of their
backgrounds and circumstances. We created the current
UWC Dare to Dream initiative, committing $5 million each
year to challenge the UWC movement, its schools, and its
national committees to fulfill this dream of finding, funding,
and educating a far more diverse cohort of students from
across the globe.
Q: Why did you create the Davis UWC Scholars Program?Shelby: As an American philanthropist with a global outlook, I
wanted to give ongoing educational opportunities to a wide
range of UWC graduates, and to help American colleges and
universities become more global campuses—thinking
everyone would benefit from going beyond traditional
domestic perspectives.
Phil: We created the Davis UWC Scholars Program at the advent
of the 21st century with hopes that UWC students would have
expanded choices for higher education while bringing their
diversity, maturity, leadership skills, and global perspectives to
American campuses. The pilot program we started in 2000 was
at a tipping point and was very much a part of transforming
American higher education into a global scope. We have
witnessed exponential growth of the program in part because it
fit so neatly into those changing strategic directions of higher
education, and in part because Shelby’s philanthropy has been
so open-ended and unbelievably generous.
18 Uniting the World
Over the years, Shelby and Gale Davis and Phil and Amy Geier have visited their scholars at numerous UWC schools and U.S. colleges and universities. Above they are at Princeton, and below at UWC Changshu (with Her Majesty Queen Noor third from left).
21Davis United World College Scholars Program
The Davis UWC Scholars Program combines the transformational philanthropy of the Davis family with donations from many others to our
partner colleges and universities. Given this financial partnership, we are pleased to recognize their generous support for today’s scholars
and tomorrow’s leaders. Each partner school was invited to submit the names of those they would like listed in this report along with the Davises.
This effort at donor recognition only scratches the surface of the many who give to their alma maters in support of the financial aid awarded to
our scholars. We are grateful to those who are contributing to their schools in this way, and look forward to the continuing growth of this honor
roll in the years ahead.
This recognition is arranged by partner school with the information they provided. It captures the growing number of philanthropists
captivated by the value of supporting our scholars — and theirs — by investing at their chosen college or university. Some have given to annual
funds, indicating their interest in the Davis UWC Scholars Program. Others have given larger amounts ($10,000 or more) toward their alma
mater’s portion of a scholar’s total financial-aid package and have been assigned scholars, sharing naming opportunities with the Davises. A
few have given major endowments in support of international scholarships assigned to Davis UWC Scholars and share naming opportunities
with the Davises each year. At the heart of the Davis UWC Scholars Program is “giving back,” a trait we strive to see manifested over time in our
scholars as they make their way in the world.

20 Uniting the World
Q: How would you describe Davis UWC Scholars’ impact on the partner colleges and universities?Phil: We should let presidents and chancellors of Davis UWC
Scholars Program partner schools describe the impact UWC
graduates have on their campuses. Here is a brief selection
reflecting how valuable the program is to all aspects of life on
the campuses of partner colleges and universities:
President of Princeton University: “UWC values motivate our Davis
UWC Scholars to be leaders in diverse aspects of the college
experience. Some pursue the path of direct service through local
social-justice organizations and community activism. Others
focus on deep intellectual engagement in their academic fields.
Still others craft unique international experiences that involve
personal engagement with people of diverse cultures and to link
that encounter with meaningful independent research.”
President of Skidmore College: “The Davis UWC Scholars Program
serves as a beacon of light to everyone committed to
international education and global leadership. Through this
highly successful program, the founders’ vision of international
understanding and transformational philanthropy translates into
practical advances in peace and global understanding across
the world.”
President of Macalester College: “The relationship with the United
World Colleges is one of the most precious things we have at
Macalester. Davis UWC Scholars come here having already learned
to be independent and encouraged to think of the world as an
interconnected place. This idea that we are all connected as
citizens of the world is a terrific thing, and it makes Macalester and
the communities our scholars move into better for their presence.”
President of University of Richmond: “Davis UWC Scholars are true
global leaders committed to harnessing the power of diversity to
build true understanding across ideological and cultural
boundaries.”
President of Bucknell University: “Davis Scholars make lasting and
positive differences on campus and beyond. Their passion,
leadership, and service raise our own aspirations, and the
friendships they make with their classmates build the
foundation for truly global citizenship.”
President of Middlebury College: “Through their diverse academic
achievements, leadership in student government and
organizations, and in the thoughtfulness and compassion they
exhibit as volunteers on campus and beyond, Davis UWC
Scholars model 21st-century citizenship.”
Editor’s note: please see numerous other Presidents’ Perspectives elsewhere throughout this report.
Q: 2020 has been challenging—what keeps you hopeful that a more united, sustainable, and peaceful future is still within reach?Shelby and Phil: While a terrible pandemic has impaired 2020 with
the tragic loss of lives and extremely difficult economic
circumstances, we remain hopeful and optimistic about the
future. We believe that staying focused, working hard, and
remaining true to our shared values and goals will see the UWC
movement and our partner colleges and universities regain
strength and become even more effective at shaping global
citizens over the years and decades ahead. Our partner colleges
and universities regain strength and become even more valuable
to shaping global citizens in the years and decades ahead.
Despite the many challenges and unknowns we are facing, we
remain confident about the UWC movement’s possibilities, its
graduates, and their potential for positive change in the world.
The Shelby Davis-Phil Geier partnership began in 1998 on the UWC-USA campus when Phil was its president.

The Davis United World College (UWC) Scholars are graduates of
a family of worldwide schools that share a mission of making
education a force to unite people, nations, and cultures for peace
and a sustainable future. The UWC movement was founded in 1962
and now comprises a network of 18 international schools on four
continents, short courses and a system of volunteer-run National
Committees in more than 155 countries.
UWC offers a challenging education to an intentionally diverse
group of students, placing high value on experiential learning,
community service and outdoor activities, and complementing high
academic standards delivered through the International
Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program.
Today, more than 11,000 students from over 163 countries are
studying on the UWC campuses. Admission to a UWC school is
independent of socioeconomic means, with over 80 percent of UWC
National Committee-selected students in the IB diploma program
receiving full or partial financial support.
Graduates of the UWCs are eligible to become Davis UWC

An ER Doc on the COVID Front“It has been a year of personal and professional growth fighting COVID on the front lines,” reports
Dr. Robert “Bobby” Redwood (USA, UWC-USA, Colby College ’06), who was promoted to chief of
emergency medicine at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, Massachusetts this year.
He’s worked to transform the hospital’s Respiratory Emergency Department “to appropriately
treat COVID patients with emergent presentations,” he writes. “Our department is also championing
a hospital-wide effort to address and dismantle structural racism in our medical community.”
“Every emergency is a failure of prevention,” he continues. “It is my professional motto and
the driving force behind my work as a dual-trained emergency and preventive medicine physician.
The impact of the United World College, Colby College, and the Davis UWC Scholars Program on
my life’s mission cannot be overstated. I analyze population health data and design emergency
department systems, so that we can bring evidence-based medicine to the emergent patient and
improve outcomes for diseases like sepsis, opioid use disorder or multi-drug resistant organisms.
“My work spans the globe, from short-term projects in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Bolivia, to long-term commitments in rural
Wisconsin, the greater Midwest and, most recently, western Massachusetts. My wife Susanne (a German citizen and UWC-USA
alum) and I often take time to marvel and express gratitude at the incredible impact that the UWC movement has had on our own
lives, and subsequently our communities.”

Acting to Advance World UnderstandingWhen Guillermo Rodriguez Medina (Venezuela, Li Po Chun UWC, Amherst College ’22)
learned that his country’s UWC committee was struggling to fund its selection process,
he began arranging to work there as a summer intern. But when Venezuela’s political
turmoil made travel home dangerous, he secured funding through Amherst for a remote
internship—and “Memo” spent the summer of 2019 building an online membership
system and website for the UWC program, which raised the needed funds.
“I am still leading the project!” he reports. “It’s an online platform for alumni to
make recurring donations.” Curious about the causes of authoritarianism in his country,
Memo became a research assistant to Javier Corrales, chair of the Political Science Department at Amherst. Using an index the
professor’s research team created, he produced a report that evaluated the high level of involvement by Venezuela’s military in
government affairs.
Memo has also been an active member of the Zumbayes, an a cappella group, and has served as program coordinator for the
Center for International Student Engagement. He also led a biweekly Global News Hour discussion forum.
“In these meetings, which usually last one hour, I would propose three current issues to discuss,” Memo says. “We usually read
articles and watch educational videos together, then discuss the events, the way in which they were covered, and other related
issues. Although I didn't start Global News Hour, one of my main goals was increasing the number of attendees.”

Working to Democratize the World’s Health CareNiamé Daffé (Mali, Waterford Kamhlaba UWC, Dartmouth College ’18) spent a year after
college on a fellowship with the Quarantine and Border Health Services of the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. She then spent 15 months as a global public health
specialist with the the Research and Clinical Planning team of Build Health International,
a Massachusetts nonprofit that develops high-quality health care infrastructure for low-
resource countries worldwide.
Last October, Niamé started a new job as a research assistant at Massachusetts
General Hospital’s Center for Global Health (CGH) in Boston. According to the hospital,
the CGH “extends the Mass General mission by supporting the global entrepreneurship of
our clinical staff, students and administrators to improve health among the most
vulnerable around the world.”
Niamé’s work involves “looking at anti racism, colonialism and decolonizing global
health and international development,” she writes. “The Center adopts antiracism and equity as explicit values and is looking to
engage more in research pertaining to this work. The fields of global health and international development are not free from criticism
—as practitioners, we need to reckon with certain histories and realities as it relates to our work.
“I am really passionate about this work and know that it will be at the foundation of wherever my career takes me. My overall
goal is to work to address global health challenges and to increase access to care across the African continent, where I grew up.”

Using Data to Predict COVID-19 StatusWhen his college pivoted to remote learning last spring, Munashe Machoko (Zimbabwe, UWC
Changshu China, Bates College ’21) couldn’t return home, so he made the most of his spring
and summer by participating in three highly competitive programs: the three-week Tuck Bridge
program at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, a one-week data camp sponsored by the
National Science Foundation, and a “COVID Corps” summer program at the Mongan Institute of
Massachusetts General Hospital.
“The main goal for the project for my COVID Corps team was to develop a statistical model to
predict someone’s COVID-19 status,” writes Munashe, who was one of just 20 inaugural

“When the virus first hit, we didn’t have enough testing capacity. My team partnered with a developer in the UK whose mobile
app would allow users to enter their symptoms. Our task was to find patterns in those symptoms, so that the next time we find a
person exhibiting a particular set of symptoms, we would predict with a certain probability their status.
“I gained a lot from working with these scientists,” adds Munashe, who hopes to work in the biotech and pharmaceutical
industry after graduation. “My biggest takeaway was the realization of how big data can be used to solve the most pressing issues in
health care. It’s nothing new anymore to know how important big data is in solving health problems—but actually being a part of the
process is an amazing experience.”

Courage Inspires the First Afghan Rhodes Scholar The day after Summia Tora (Afghanistan, UWC-USA, Earlham College ’20) took her UWC
entrance exam at the Serena Hotel in Kabul in 2014, the hotel was attacked by the
Taliban. Among the nine people killed was the chair of Afghanistan’s UWC selection
committee, Dr. Roshan Thomas, a Canadian optometrist who, with her physician
husband, had started an independent school for boys and girls in Kabul.
“She was the main reason I applied—because she risked her life. Because she
believed that students like me, from countries like Afghanistan or refugees from Pakistan,
should have the opportunity to get an education,” Summia told BBC News, which profiled
her last February after she became the first Afghan ever to win a Rhodes Scholarship for
three years’ study at Oxford University.
Also the first female Earlham graduate awarded a Rhodes, Summia is pursuing coursework at Oxford in refugee studies, forced
migration studies, and social entrepreneurship. Born in Afghanistan, she fled with her family to Pakistan as a child, and grew up in
the frontier city Peshawar. At Earlham, “she has been a dedicated and conscientious student of peace and global studies and of
economics,” says Joanna Swanger, director of Earlham’s Peace & Global Studies program.
Endowed by the imperialist Cecil Rhodes in 1902 and long open only to men from the U.S., Germany, and the British
Commonwealth, the Rhodes program debuted a Global Scholars component in 2018.
“I realized I shouldn’t run away from admitting the colonial legacy,” Summia reflects. “It’s people like us who need to change it.”

Blending Global Openness with a Passion for FinanceAs the CEO of his college’s Student Investment Fund, Fredrik Linder (Sweden, UWC
Southeast Asia, Claremont McKenna ’21) has made good use of an asset he
developed at UWC: multicultural curiosity.
“While I’m passionate about finance, data analytics and the global startup
ecosystem, this is all rooted in curiosity about other people, cultures, and traditions,”
explains Fredrik, an economics major with a minor in data science. “Not only is it
practically important to understand other perspectives—a misalignment in opinions
or suggestions in, for example, group-related tasks can be broken down more
efficiently if you understand what informs them—but it is also very exciting to do so.
“Leading the college’s student investment fund has put me in positions where I am wrong more often than not, which is a natural
aspect of the learning process,” he continues. “Tackling those deficiencies becomes significantly more manageable and fun when I
engage in discussion with other fund members, who have plenty of different perspectives. Curiosity brings an element of humility, and
it forms this beautiful intersection of a deep desire to learn with the realization that you cannot do so without remaining open-minded.
“The finance industry is in dire need of systematic change,” he concludes,“and while open-mindedness and curiosity about
other people’s backgrounds and perspectives won’t do the job alone, removing a historically ‘singular’ way of thought will be a step in
the right direction.”

Leading and Learning on Remote Global Expeditions For someone who grew up mostly in China and Singapore and considers herself a
global citizen, Alexandra Hansen (USA, UWC South East Asia, Kenyon College ’17)
has something of a dream job. She’s a polar-history lecturer and expedition guide with
a fleet of small ships that sail to some of the world’s most remote places.
“I deliver educational presentations to share insights into local culture, history and
international affairs,” writes Alexandra, who triple-majored in Chinese area studies,
international studies and Asian studies. “Secondly, I lead groups of guests into the field
and provide hands-on interpretation of the local environment and culture. In Antarctica, I often spend my days next to a colony of
Gentoo penguins, while in Aldabra of the Seychelles I may be underwater snorkeling.
“Lastly, I am a Zodiac driver. I spend a lot of my time in a small inflatable rubber boat, maneuvering it around the coastline to
get a different perspective of the surrounding flora and fauna.
“What I love most about my job is that no two days are the same. Life on an expedition is inherently changeable — the weather,
ocean conditions, and wildlife all play a factor each day. This means I am constantly exposed to new, exciting circumstances and
challenges. I am always learning new things, and I use my platform to educate my audience about critical local, national and
international issues. Through both my career and my personal life,” she adds, “I hope to continue to be globally engaged.”

Reaching Out for a Closer, Healthier CommunityIn the first months at university, “I found it very difficult at first to adapt and find my community,”
recalls Fabiana Gabriela Irigoyen Jiménez (Bolivia, Red Cross Nordic UWC, Case Western
Reserve University ’22). “However, as the semester passed, I found other students who were also
struggling, and we became a family.”
Fabiana got involved that spring with the university’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, and she
organized a discussion group where international students on campus can share their needs and
create a plan to address them. She has also become a “sustainability ambassador” for the
university’s Office of Energy & Sustainability; she is on a team that carries out projects aimed at
educating fellow students in the dining halls about composting leftovers and trying alternative options to meat.
Her volunteer work on campus, and at Cleveland’s Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, has won notice and acclaim. Last
spring she was presented with two campus awards, a Unity Banquet Scholarship from the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the
Unsung Champion Award from the Center for International Affairs. She was also named a Civic Engagement Scholar by the
university’s Center for Civic Engagement and Learning, and she won a Phi Beta Kappa Prize for outstanding academic performance.
Fabiana hopes after graduation to earn a master’s degree and become a registered dietitian. “There is a whole new world out
there that I would like to connect with nutrition and health,” she says. “I want to help people see changes in food habits as
something enjoyable and not a burden.”

Training and Empowering Rural “Solar Mamas”Hoping he could help reduce some of the inequalities he had witnessed in the world, Prometheu
Tyagi (India, Mahindra UWC, Luther ’15) went to work for Barefoot College. It’s an NGO that for
almost half a century, focusing on the least-developed nations, “has designed new ways to
nurture and support a journey to empowerment, one village at a time, one woman at a time,”
according to barefootcollege.org.
The women in its training program for solar engineering “are mostly rural, illiterate mothers
and grandmothers—solar mamas, Barefoot calls them,” says a profile of Prometheu in last
spring’s Luther College Magazine. “Barefoot tries to select women who come from marginalized
communities and have often been discriminated against because of race or caste.”
“The more amazing stories come from the sense of empowerment that happens and the
dignity the mamas develop in themselves,” he says in the article. “By the middle of the training,
the same mamas who were very shy are loud and outspoken. They’re putting forward their point of view on different topics. That’s
when you actually see the impact of empowerment and the program they’ve gone through.
“That’s something you can’t measure. You can measure the number of villages we’ve electrified, the number of trainings we’ve
had, the number of solar mamas who have come, but you can’t measure empowerment. ... That’s an amazing thing to see, and
that’s what we aim to do through this training.”

More Davis UWC Scholars Become Rhodes ScholarsTwo more Davis UWC Scholars have won Rhodes Scholarships: Sarah Mackenzie (Canada, UWC Adriatic, University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill ’20) and Avital Balwit (USA, UWC-USA, University of Virginia ’21) were named last November as recipients
of the two-year stipend for graduate studies at Oxford University.
After Sarah Mackenzie graduated in May 2020 from UNC, where she majored in public policy and global studies, she worked
in the university’s public policy department as a Thomas W. Ross North Carolina Leadership Fellow, then as a client advocate for the
Center for Appellate Litigation in New York City.
Looking ahead to studying at Oxford, Sarah said, “I think the opportunity to see beyond my own discipline in public policy and
have really rich intellectual collaborations with other scholars is really exciting.”
Avital Balwit plans to pursue an advanced degree in philosophy at Oxford. “I met so many brilliant people in the finalist group
and I am inspired to know them,” she said. “The whole experience gave me a lot of hope for the future. It allowed me to see so
many bright and motivated people who want to spend their lives improving the world.”

Expanding Knowledge about Birds of the OceanAya Kumaga (Japan, Li Po Chun UWC, College of the Atlantic ’21) is passionate about
ecology, especially the world of birds. She spent one summer in college at COA’s
research station on Great Duck Island, 10 miles off the Atlantic coast, gathering data on
a little-understood, far-northern bird species called Leach’s storm petrel—and “I cannot
tell you how many hours she put into her study,” says John Anderson, her professor and advisor. “I was always in bed before she
came in, and eating breakfast while she was striding off to her study plots in the morning.”
“I investigated whether vegetation type influenced petrel burrow density and conducted a population estimate,” Aya explains.
“I not only got to practice field-research skills (i.e., using GPS units to map features, banding petrels, and taking field notes), and got
the opportunity to present a poster at a conference, but I also learned a lot of lessons, such as 1) data entry should happen every
day while you can remember the details, and 2) the importance of taking field notes that you can read a year later.”
Aya also interned in a lab at Hokkaido University in Japan, where she studied how seabirds might be impacted by offshore wind
farms. “The plan is to take these findings and experience back to Maine,” she says, “and see what applies to the gulls that breed off
the coast of Maine,” another area that has strong potential for offshore wind generation.

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“Since the start of the Davis UWC Scholars Program
more than 20 years ago, over 350 scholars from 88
countries have graduated from College of the
Atlantic. …They share a passion for service, are
deeply empathetic, and are motivated by the promise
of a better world. Importantly, even as young
scholars at COA, Davis UWC Scholars continue to
shape the fabric and character of the very institu-
tion. In a phrase, the presence of Davis Scholars
raises all boats here at COA. We are forever in
gratitude for this remarkable program.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“A uniform trait displayed by Davis UWC Scholars is their
dedication to their studies, and to their community. Our
scholars understand the word ‘community’ in its
broadest sense, for they represent multiple communities.
They represent their home countries, they represent the
community of Davis UWC Scholars, and they represent
the broader category of international students. …
Consequently, Davis UWC Scholars feel intense devotion
and responsibility for their respective communities—off
campus this takes the form of volunteering for local
nonprofit organizations; on campus this takes the form
of leadership on student government, on serving as the
liaison between international students and academic
departments, fostering a sense of deep engagement
with their fellow students, to give but a few examples.”

Innovating IT for Learning and Research“How can I use my knowledge and experience to make things easier for people?”
Petar Mitresvski (Macedonia, UWC Robert Bosch College, Middlebury College ’07)
often asks himself that question, according to a profile by Middlebury.
As an undergraduate, Petar discovered a passion for computer science, and his
talents soon gave him a chance to make a difference.
“Viruses were attacking students’ computers, and there was no recourse—no
easy-to-use virus eradicators, no off-the-shelf troubleshooting,” the college says. “With
students flooding the help desk, Petar created a program to disinfect computers. He
was able to reduce a system that consisted of an immense number of complicated
steps that would take almost a day to complete into a simple routine that faculty, staff,
and students could do on their own.”
Petar stayed at Middlebury as an IT team leader for 12 years after graduation. In 2019 he became an audiovisual design
engineer at Harvard Medical School, responsible for the AV technology in some 150 spaces, venues and learning systems. The
pandemic brought new challenges; he now needed to safely and seamlessly integrate in-person and remote research activities and
collaborations.
“Even keeping surfaces clean is something Petar is involved with,” says the profile from his alma mater. “A scientist can walk
into a room with a specialized camera and transmit data and visual information without the operator touching anything.
“‘This technology exists in other places,’ says Petar, ‘but we’ve put our own spin on it at Harvard.’”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“The Davis UWC Scholars Program continues to provide
students from around the globe a well-deserved
opportunity to earn a degree from The College of Idaho,
and Davis UWC Scholars have injected energy and new
ways of thinking into the college’s dynamic campus as
we have seen significant growth in Davis UWC Scholars
over the last four years.
“Despite significant challenges this year due to
COVID-19, our Davis UWC Scholars—many of whom
have been on campus since fall 2019 without a break—
have led efforts to hold outdoor Pride rallies, completed
a summer College Work Program leaving the college
looking better than ever, and stayed locked in to online
courses despite learning from around the world. We are
more proud than ever to be a partner institution with the
Davis UWC Scholars Program.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“Last year, I shared my gratitude for the Davis UWC
Scholars Program that has brought scholars with a
global perspective and pluralistic worldview to
Davidson during a turbulent period globally. That
turbulence has only intensified during this pandemic,
which has closed borders and further contributed to
the nationalism and hyper-partisanship that is
ascendant around the world. Given this environment in
which we currently live and in which our graduates will
enter, we must be even more fervent and steadfast in
our commitment to educate and prepare our students
to be effective global citizens and leaders.
“Even in a mostly virtual environment, Davis UWC
Scholars better equip Davidson to achieve this through the
diversity of opinions and life experiences they bring to the
classroom and campus experience at large that we would
not have without them. These students assist us in
developing leaders with humane instincts and in
increasing our global consciousness.”

Creating a Magazine for Black Women EverywhereThe summer before her sophomore year, Rutendo Magade (Zimbabwe, UWC Thailand,
Earlham College ’23) launched Munaku, a new, independently published digital magazine
that celebrates Black women around the world. “I wanted to create a publication that makes
Black women feel seen and lets them be their authentic selves,” Rutendo says. “This
magazine features women who inspire me.”
“Munaku” means “beautiful person” in Shona, a language of Zimbabwe, and the
magazine features articles by women around the globe and photos by Rutendo and several
others. The first issue was published in August, and two more issues since then have featured
themes of journaling and “Love Thyself.”
“We, as Black women, are in ourselves a diverse group of people, and Munaku seeks to appreciate the entire spectrum of
Blackness and everything that comes with it,” Rutendo writes at www.munakumagazine.com.
At Earlham, she’s a physics and global management double-major—physics “because I just love it,” Rutendo says, and global
management “because I wanted to know more about how to run a successful magazine company. I love to draw, and I also wanted
to pursue art as a major.
“With coming to America, there’s such a different conversation around Africa and African Americans, and that was intriguing,”
Rutendo notes. About the magazine, she adds, “It’s fitting that the articles are written by women from literally everywhere, including
America, Africa, and Asia. I want it to be for everyone, to make them feel celebrated.

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“In this moment of heightened global uncertainty, it
matters more than ever that we welcome students with
global experiences and perspectives into our campus
community. The Davis UWC Scholars who have found
their way to Bates have contributed meaningfully to the
life of the college, and also — we hope — discovered
new possibilities within themselves during their time
here. Their successes post-Bates suggest that they are
continuing to enrich the communities where they live
and work, and we are exceedingly proud of their
accomplishments.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“I’ve often remarked that the goals of the Davis UWC
Scholars so neatly match our own. The program’s
intent to seed American schools with future global
leaders perfectly comports with our mission of
preparing students for lives of leadership and service.
The UWC Scholars could not be a better fit for our
community, and their effect is exactly what you’d hope
for: they connect, they network, they inspire, they lead,
they teach.”

A Musician Explores New Ways of ConnectingThe physical isolation of the pandemic hasn’t meant creative isolation for
musician, composer, and recording artist Rounak Maiti (USA, Mahindra
UWC, Occidental College ’16).
“It's allowed for new ways to envision what ‘community’ really means,” he
writes from his home in Mumbai. “This is really a critical time for artists and
cultural practitioners to start exploring new ways for people to come together
and bond, virtually.”
Largely self-taught as a guitarist and songwriter, Rounak self-recorded his first album, Bengali Cowboy, in Los Angeles in 2017.
“Waiting on the Comedown,” his 2019 follow-up, “leaned further into my relationship with technology, and how that further mediates
personal relationships,” he says. Rolling Stone India called Comedown “a bittersweet exploration into the emotions attached to
communication in the 21st century.”
“Thanks to Pagal Haina Records, my management and record label based in New Delhi, I’ve been lucky enough to go on tour,
play at festivals, and share this music with listeners in India and in the US as well,” Rounak says. He previously played in a band in
LA and a hip-hop group based in Mumbai, where he also records and produces music by other artists.
Since leaving the U.S. for India over a year ago, Rounak has kept his “day job” as digital communication coordinator for the
International Documentary Association. That work “has really allowed me to become part of this incredible global network of
filmmakers,” he notes. “As a massive documentary enthusiast, I have loved learning about this art form.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“When students, staff, and faculty have a chance to sit
down and talk to a Davis UWC Scholar, they learn about
someone who sees the world through a unique lens. They
have deeply considered their place in the world and
routinely challenge the perspectives of their fellow
students along the way. This is especially clear in their
role as Global Fellows, in which they have the opportunity
to assist in the planning and implementation of the I Am
Global Week (International Education Week activities) on
the Brandeis campus. Their leadership and involvement
in the program highlights diversity and cultural
connections throughout our community.
“Brandeis University is pleased to continue as a partner
institution with the Davis UWC Scholars, as their impact
and involvement on campus is invaluable to the
institution. We look forward to our ongoing collaboration
with the Davis UWC Scholars Program.”

Creative Leadership Makes an Impression“In my sophomore year, I became passionate about traditional printing methods
and paper in general,” says Petar Pirizovic (Croatia, UWC Dilijan, Ringling
College of Art + Design ’21). He joined the college’s Print, Paper and Book Club,
and after he became its president as a junior he helped to develop and rename
the club to The Makers.
“Our club flourished and became an ever-evolving environment in which one
can remove themselves from the screens, roll up their sleeves, and create something unique,” Petar relates. “We sought to create a
productive, relaxed, and creative environment where our ideas can transition from digital to print.”
Also vice president for the campus Green Ambassadors and treasurer of the International Cultures Club, Petar has organized
and designed a number of events—and he’s been honored with several Ringling awards, including the Emerging Student Leader
Award and Trustee Scholar Award, the college’s top honor.
Working with the Collaboratory, a Ringling program that pairs students with businesses to develop design and branding
solutions, “I created a strong visual brand system that is versatile and can be changed depending on the current needs,” Petar says.
“I have helped create various outreach programs and initiatives to spread awareness about new opportunities the program offers.”
He hopes one day to run a small print shop that offers open hours to its community—and to teach at a small college or
international school. “I want to teach arts, design thinking, problem solving, and hopefully encourage someone to find their passion
in this world I deeply fell in love with.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“The most confounding challenges of our time
transcend geographic borders, languages, and cultural
differences; they demand global solutions and a belief
in our common humanity. A rigorous liberal-arts
education should prepare students to tackle those
challenges with tireless curiosity; it should inspire future
generations to lead with empathy and understanding.
This is the profound value of the Davis UWC Scholars
Program at Bennington College. Through the program,
our students are exposed to a range of perspectives and
ideas, preparing them for a lifetime as globally minded
problem solvers in every field.”

Connecting the Dots and Aiming for Solutions
“Steve Jobs once said we can only connect the dots looking backwards,” writes
Tumisang Ramarea (Botswana, UWC Costa Rica, Stanford University ’19). As a
graduate student at Stanford who studies decision and risk analysis, he writes,
“the dots have connected for me and now I can sum up what I believe to be
meaningful work as catalyzing impact.”
During the pandemic, Tumisang led a small team that helped Botswana’s
Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 evaluate potential policy interventions. He
is a mentor for students at UWC-USA, and he serves on his home nation’s UWC
selection committee. He also recently joined in a fundraising initiative for the African Library Project, which helps bring libraries to
remote communities on his home continent.
“There is no greater feeling than to support the journey of another, to witness it from the front seat, and watch their growth over
time,” Tumisang reflects. “My humble background instilled an entrepreneurial spirit within me. I have also learned that a creative
spirit is necessary for generating new solutions to problems.
“I want to be a catalyst for impact, especially in Africa. Each time I say I aspire to be the president of Botswana someday or to
be a venture capitalist in Africa, that is a metaphor for my desire to contribute towards building systems that allow us Africans to
drive the solutions to some of our most pressing problems.”

“It is a privilege for Methodist University to have a
significant number of Davis UWC Scholars in our student
body. MU has a long-standing commitment to
internationalization. We believe that internationalizing our
student body and our curriculum is beneficial to domestic
students and international students. In an increasingly
global economy and polity, it is vitally important that
today’s students develop an understanding of and an
appreciation for multiple cultures and worldviews. ...
“Davis UWC Scholars are excellent students who will
become leaders in many different fields across the globe
in future years. We are proud to already count many of
the scholars among our alumni and equally proud of the
ways in which their presence, intelligence, and leadership
skills enhance the university’s reputation.
“On behalf of the entire Methodist University
community, I want to thank the Davis UWC Scholars
Program for its ongoing support of the outstanding
students for whom the program has made a
Methodist University education possible.”

Pitching In to Help Remote Learning SucceedAs a computer science major, Federico Cedolini (Argentina, Pearson UWC, Trinity College ’22)
had been working with the college’s IT department and was looking forward to traveling for spring
break. Then the pandemic hit, Trinity had to make a fast shift to remote learning, and “Fede” was
among some 400 students who couldn’t go home.
Instead, he pitched in to help make the shift work.
“Quickly, he was helping faculty set up remote offices and install software necessary for
online classes,” the college reports. “Among the jobs Fede undertook was helping students who
had no access to wifi and whose economic hardship only made the matter more difficult.”
For every student who was referred to him, Fede found a solution. When he couldn’t locate free options, he scouted the best
deals, which the college then subsidized. When Trinity blended remote and in-person learning in the fall, he continued to help.
“I knew if I had gone back to Argentina, I would have been in the exact same situation as these students, because my parents
don’t have internet access at home,” he says. “Sometimes the educational system and the remote learning model can be stressful,
and not having the resources to be able to properly learn increases that stress significantly.
“What truly inspires and motivates me at the end of the day,” he adds, “is all the people I observed growing up who were giving
their best to make a change and help others by doing what they love doing.”

Opening New Paths to Opportunity in AfricaAs a policy advisor for the United Nations Capital Development Fund, which focuses expertise
and resources on the world’s 47 least-developed countries, Aneth Kasebele (Tanzania, UWC-
USA, Wesleyan University ’08) works to expand access to financial services through digital
technology to low-income people and communities in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
“For the first seven years post-Wesleyan, I worked with governments, nongovernmental
organizations, and civil society organizations in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda to improve
leadership and management capability for quality HIV and AIDS service delivery,” Aneth
writes. “I was exposed to various challenges in health financing and what it meant to the lives
of poor and vulnerable people. This motivated me to shift my focus to advocating for inclusive
policies and regulations in the financial sector, to enable widespread access to finance for marginalized populations, including
women, youth, refugees, and rural communities.
“With increased access to formal financial services, low-income communities can access capital to start or grow a business or
invest in income-generating activities,” she explains. “For instance, in Rwanda, I have been leading a project that supports non-
traditional financial services providers, i.e., fintech startups, extending services to underserved or under-banked populations in rural
areas or refugee camps.
“UNCDF’s support in this project is to facilitate constructive stakeholder dialogue and advocate for policy changes that build an
inclusive market system. We also provide bespoke business support to startups, and milestone-based grants to help startups grow
and scale their services within Rwanda and across the region.”

Working to Probe Secrets of the UniverseHaving been awarded undergraduate research grants from the Enrico Fermi Institute and the
Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, Mesut Çalıs kan (Turkey, UWC Maastricht, University of
Chicago ’21) produced a paper on gravitational waves, with university faculty and research
experts, that was published by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. He was
also accepted in 2020 as an official member of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave
Observatory (LIGO) Scientific Collaboration.
“Gravitational waves (GWs) are ripples in the curvature of space-time generated by some of
the most powerful events in the universe, such as merging black holes and neutron stars,” Mesut explains. “They were predicted by
Einstein more than 100 years ago and detected for the first time by LIGO in 2015. They contain information about their source as
well as the behavior of gravity. They are a fascinating tool for probing the universe.
“When gravitational waves travel near a massive object such as a galaxy or a galaxy cluster, they experience an effect called
strong gravitational lensing,” he continues. “In our paper, we discuss how we could use gravitational lensing to precisely locate
merging binary black holes. Merging black holes do not emit light. This makes it generally not possible to localize them in the sky.
“I currently research the false-alarm rate of the detection of lensed gravitational waves. Current forecasts expect lensed
gravitational waves to be detected in this decade, and I am working towards it.”
Once lensed GWs are detected, Mesut adds, “there will be more physics to do with black holes!”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“Wellesley is proud to be among the founding institutions
to partner with the Davis UWC Scholars Program. For
more than two decades, UWC scholars have arrived at
Wellesley with a range of talents, experiences, ideas, and
backgrounds that have deepened campus dialogue,
broadened class learning, and strengthened our
community. This ongoing pandemic is a reminder that
the most pressing issues of this century span nations
and even continents.
“To make a difference in the world today, you must
cultivate a global perspective, and our Davis UWC
Scholars lead the way in making this possible in our
community. We are grateful for their unique contributions
to our campus and know they will leave Wellesley with
the education and skills the world so desperately needs
in its future leaders.”
PAULA A . JOHNSON, PRES IDENTWellesley College

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“The UWC concept of ‘uniting the world’ has never been
more important than in 2020. At Northwestern, we are
striving to become a more just and inclusive community
and to address urgent societal issues from climate
change to systemic racism. Our Davis UWC Scholars fill
me with optimism because, like so many of their
generational peers, they have challenged and inspired
our community in the classroom and been advocates for
change. Whether our Scholars are together in person or
spread across the globe this year, I have confidence in
their sense of resilience, compassion, and service to one
another and to the world.”

Bringing Fresh Financial Tech to the World’s YouthWorking since mid-2019 at Razer Fintech, the financial-technology
division of Hong Kong-based Razer Inc., Nalin Natrajan (Singapore,
UWC South East Asia, Northwestern University ’13) has played a key role
in initiatives aimed at providing South Asian young people, and
underserved communities, with empowering financial services. One
notable project has been the 2020 launch of Razer Pay, a Visa-powered
prepaid card that lets users make financial transactions without a bank
account or access to traditional financial institutions.
“The card launch has been going well so far, generating huge interest
with tens of thousands of sign-ups within the first couple of weeks alone,”
Nalin writes. “I was the product manager for this project at Razer Fintech, and drove the card program from inception to rollout in
Singapore. The company hopes to address the financial needs of youth all over the world, which this card would be a part of.”
Plans are for the project to expand across Southeast Asia, South Asia and Europe, in the process helping to improve financial
literacy in those regions.
“Personally, I think financial literacy is an extremely important yet neglected topic all over the world, from economically well-off
regions to economically developing regions,” Nalin reflects. “Most people in my generation, or younger, typically do not learn much
about financial literacy from their schools, peers or parents. I’m hoping my work in the ‘fin tech’ industry can address this.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“The Davis UWC Scholars Program continues to set the
best example for international education and global
leadership. Through this highly successful program, the
founders’ vision of international understanding and
transformational philanthropy translates into practical
advances in peace and global understanding across the
world. Such efforts have never been more necessary or
more valuable to both our local and global communities.
Here at Skidmore College, the program is a cornerstone
for our commitment to undergraduate international
education and, as a vital component of that goal, to
bring highly qualified students to the college. We are
tremendously grateful for the vision, generosity, and
commitment of the program’s founders.”

UNDERGRADUATES IN ACTION
Building Awareness and Boosting Young LeadersOn his arrival in Oklahoma, Amer Begovic (Bosnia-Herzegovina, UWC in Mostar, University of
of Oklahoma ’21) discovered a diverse campus with 10 percent international students and a
number of student organizations representing regions of the world, but none from his home
area. So as a sophomore, he organized the Ex-Yugoslav Student Association.
“One of the biggest challenges we faced was promoting a region that unfortunately not a
lot of students here know about,” says Amer, who that year won a President’s Award for
Outstanding Sophomores. “It was not just us representing the culture, but also us educating on
the geography and history of our countries. With that, I do believe we have achieved a lot.” Amer
also became the first international student to serve on the Executive Committee of OU’s High School Leadership Conference. In a
conference workshop he created on international leadership, he split the high-school “campers” into groups of 10.
“I gave each group a sheet of paper that had a country on it and an explanation of the biggest problems high-school students
face in that country,” he says. “Then I gave them 30 minutes to come up with possible solutions. I concluded the workshop by
letting them know they had just come up with solutions to some of the biggest issues high-school students face around the world, so
why can’t they do the same in their own school? There have been campers who cried at the end of the workshop, because it made
them realize how much potential they truly have.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“The Davis UWC Scholars Program wonderfully reflects
our institutional commitment to bring the world to
Richmond and Richmond to the world. I have been
engaged with the Davis UWC Program since 2004, and I
have always been deeply impressed with how the
talented young scholars of this program bring new
awareness and understanding to campus, from the
classroom to the residence hall. This year we are proud to
welcome our largest-ever cohort of UWC Scholars. While
COVID-19 will make this year unlike any other, it has also
reminded us how interconnected we all are. We are
always privileged to count UWC Scholars as members of
our community, and even more so at a moment when
greater cross-cultural understanding and cooperation
has never been more important.”

PRESIDENTS ’ PERSPECTIVES
“The extraordinary chain of COVID events in 2020
presented our students with tremendous challenges. In
facing these challenges over the past seven months, our
St. Lawrence Davis UWC Scholars have demonstrated
remarkable leadership qualities, unwavering
commitment to academic excellence, and high levels of
maturity. They also found innovative ways to support
their peers and to share their invaluable global
perspectives during this difficult time. We have never
been prouder of our Scholars, or more grateful for the
privilege of hosting them at St. Lawrence.”

“As I begin my first year as president of Macalester
College, I am excited to meet and get to know our Davis
UWC Scholars. I firmly believe that the philosophy behind
the United World Colleges, of uniting people, nations and
cultures, and doing this through the education of our
future leaders, is not only aligned with what we do at
Macalester, but is especially important in this time of
great global uncertainty. I am deeply grateful for our
partnership with the Davis UWC Scholars Program and
look forward to supporting our Scholars as they grow and
develop into the next generation of leaders.”

Applying to Become a Partner School
The Davis UWC Scholars Program reviews
requests on an annual basis from colleges
and universities interested in becoming partner
schools. To be considered, a letter of request
from the institution’s president should be
submitted, explaining in detail why their school
would be a good candidate for the program. An
important prerequisite for a candidate school
is to have a proven track record of successfully
recruiting graduates from United World College
schools at the time of application. It’s essential
that applicant schools are in alignment with the
Davis UWC Scholars Program’s key goal of the
internationalization of the U.S. undergraduate
experience by building clusters of globally
aware UWC graduates on their domestic
campuses. Letters may be submitted at any
time during the academic year, but no later
than May 31, as decisions are finalized by
August each year.
The Davis UWC Scholars Program makes
grants to institutions only — not to individual
students. Grants are awarded based on financial
need to eligible United World College graduates
enrolled at one of the partner schools.

How Other Philanthropists Can Invest
Philanthropists who want to help bring the world to U.S. campuses — especially their own alma maters — are invited to
become a part of the Davis UWC Scholars Program. Philanthropist Shelby Davis created the program 21 years ago, and
since then it has grown to become the world’s largest international scholarship program for undergraduate study.
Ninety-nine American colleges and universities have been selected to partner with this major philanthropic investment
to transform American campuses by providing scholarships to students from more than 160 countries to attend these
schools for their undergraduate degrees.
The scholarships are awarded to students who are proven winners. As 15- or 16-year-olds, they won national
competitions in their home countries that allowed them to complete their last two years of high school at one of the
premier United World College schools. They have demonstrated their leadership, they are informed and engaged in world
issues, and they have been admitted to some of the finest institutions of higher learning in the U.S. Everyone at these
campuses — students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community — benefits from this exposure and the global
networking that will inevitably link our country’s future leaders with those of many other nationalities.
The Davis United World College Scholars Program is a genuine partnership — Davis philanthropy provides $10,000
or $25,000 per scholar a year (starting with the class of 2024) of need-based aid for up to four years of undergraduate
study to each of the partner schools. Schools with 40 or more scholars enrolled on a continuing basis receive the larger
award because they have demonstrated their complete strategic commitment by hosting such a large cohort.
The partner schools are left to fund the remaining financial aid for each scholar. Depending on the student’s
demonstrated need and on each partner school’s full fees, the remaining scholarship packages can be quite substantial.
Other philanthropists have already chosen to participate. They have invested in a proven and exciting global program
by co-funding a portion of these scholars at their alma maters or at other partner schools of particular interest to them.
This opportunity exists for you as well. Share a naming opportunity for a scholar and his/her four-year undergraduate
degree with a commitment of $10,000 or $25,000 a year (starting with the class of 2024). Your philanthropy, in concert
with Davis philanthropy and your favorite school, will help create a three-way partnership for a better world.
