As a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization, UWC-USA is dependent
upon the philanthropic support of many who give generously so that
we can provide students with the best possible education and experience.
Special Opportunity to Build
Endowment
Our remarkable and remarkably generous trustee Shelby Davis has
put forward an extremely important match to benefit UWC-USA endowments.
Shelby challenges other donors to help build the support that will
strengthen the College far into the future. He will donate $5,000,000
to match gifts made to endowments; fully matched, his $5,000,000
gift will equate to $10,000,000, a tremendous boost for the College.
Endowments yield annual income to be used to support students,
programs, and operations. In particular, Shelby wants to help us
build the general endowment that supports international scholarships,
the Geier International Scholarship Endowment.
Shelby’s Davis Scholar program already provides endowed support
for 50 Davis Scholars from the United States each year. Of these,
25 attend UWC-USA and the other 25 attend other United World Colleges.
Our goal is to be able to provide scholarships for all the students
at UWC-USA, currently the 75 students admitted each year from around
the world. Success in meeting Shelby’s generous challenge
will mean a major stride toward realizing that goal.
