UWC Armenia is dedicated to selecting and supporting students and their families for the UWC movement. Our members are passionate about education and international understanding, working together to create opportunities for young changemakers. The first students from Armenia were selected to study in UWC colleges in 1994. The main goals of the UWC Armenia are to represent the UWC movement in Armenia, to maintain ties with alumni of UWC schools and colleges, and to select and nominate candidates from Armenia for UWC educational programs.
Since 2013 Charity Foundation “Scholae Mundi” has actively supported the operations of the UWC Armenia. Thanks to the foundation’s support and the tireless efforts of the National Committee team, 2014 saw a substantial increase both in the number of candidate applications to UWC colleges and in educational financing opportunities for admitted students.
Today UWC Armenia not only selects students, but also organizes and participates in different activities and event that reflect the mission of UWC.
