EU Scholarship Programme

The EU Scholarship Programme for Cypriot Youth at UWC, funded by the European Union and implemented by UWC, offers up to full scholarships for young people from across Cyprus to study at one of the UWC schools in Europe.

Launched in 2019, the programme aims to foster peace, mutual understanding, and cooperation between the Cypriot communities by bringing together students who share a passion for making a positive impact in the world.

Each scholarship enables students to complete the final two years of high school through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) — a globally recognised qualification that emphasises critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and leadership for a sustainable future.
