For the past few weeks Peter & I have worked on a side-project to compile a list of boarding school scholarship and loan opportunities for international students. We hadn’t had much luck until we read a news story about the Davis United World Scholars (DUWCSP).  Committed to “building international understanding through education”, the Davis program is open to international and domestic students at each participating school.

Although very competitive, the DUWCSP provides impressive support for its recipients.

The Davis family and Davis United World College Program have extended international student support to a small number of American boarding schools in a pilot program.  Strong students at Phillips Academy Andover, Emma Willard School, The Lawrenceville School, The Taft School, and Westminster School can apply for financial support for the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, and PG years.  This funding will provide scholarships of up to $20,000.

DUWCSP will continue support of students beyond boarding school if these students elect to continue their studies at one of the 89 American colleges participating in the Davis United World College Scholarship Program.  Seven possible years of support represent an outstanding commitment and opportunity.  The DUWSP currently supports more than 1,100 college students from 126 countries.

Check out the web sites of the participating boarding schools for more information; each has news items posted on the DUWSP scholarships.
