The EU Scholarship Programme for Cypriot Youth at UWC, implemented by UWC Cyprus follows a thorough and well-rounded selection process to identify motivated and talented young individuals who align with UWC’s values and mission.
Before starting your application, we suggest you:
- Check our eligibility criteria to determine if this is the correct route for you to apply.
- Check the UWC selection criteria to determine if you are a good fit for a UWC experience.
You’ll then be ready to start your UWC journey!
1. Application stage
The first step in the selection process is submitting an application. This includes:
- Completing an online application form with personal details, academic background, extracurricular activities, and motivations for applying to UWC.
- Submitting essays or short responses to demonstrate critical thinking and commitment to UWC values.
- Providing references from teachers, mentors, or community leaders.
- Uploading academic transcripts and other required documents.
- Signed permission from the parent or legal guardian.
2. Selection stage
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in a multi-step selection process, which typically includes:
- Selection Workshops: Candidates engage in collaborative problem-solving tasks and discussions to assess teamwork, leadership, and adaptability.
- Individual Interviews: A panel interview where applicants discuss their motivations, aspirations, and alignment with UWC’s values.
- Project Presentations: Candidates may be asked to present a personal project or initiative they have worked on that reflects their commitment to making a positive impact.
3. Nomination stage
After selections, the Cyprus Committee nominates the most promising candidates for placement at UWC schools and colleges. Successful applicants will:
- Receive an offer for a UWC placement with full funding for tuition fees, accommodation, and meals. Additional scholarships may be granted based on demonstrated financial need to help cover travel costs and pocket money (all applicants will be asked to submit financial information for this purpose). If a family is in a position to contribute, UWC Cyprus may request a modest contribution, which helps support other students in need.
- Have the opportunity to accept or decline the nomination.
- Complete necessary paperwork and preparations for enrollment.
