The Grant MacEwan United World College Scholarships will be awarded to high school students with exceptional potential in intellectual curiosity, active commitment, social competence, personal integrity, and resilience from across Alberta. We seek great diversity and find students of exceptional promise and potential from across the country, regardless of their socio-economic background, politics, religion, ethnicity, ideology, language or gender. Canada is a country filled with diversity. The UWC NCC seeks to identify students who can reflect and represent that multiplicity at UWC. Applications typically open on the 1 of July and close around the 1st week of November for applicants to be eligible for financial assistance or scholarships. Rolling applications will be accepted between mid-November and early May. Applicants may either be a Canadian citizen; a permanent resident of Canada; and a resident of Canada for at least 12 months. Applicants are encouraged to apply during their grade 11 year. Applicants must be at least 16 years old by September 15th of the year they will enter UWC. The majority of students begin their studies at age 17. Applicants must not turn 20 years old prior to November 1st of the year they will send UWC.
