Applying for a UWC Scholarship

Malawian students who satisfy the eligibility criteria and who wish to apply for a UWC scholarship should do so through the UWC Malawi National Committee. The first step of the UWC Malawi selection process involves submitting an online written application. The next step is group and individual interviews for shortlisted applicants. Based on the selection day, the National Committee recommends students for acceptance to individual UWC schools that then make the final scholarship offers.
