What if I’m not eligible to apply via NC Indonesia?
While national application in Indonesia is managed by us, the following routes are also available:
- For all applicants, you can also explore the Global Selections Program (GSP) coordinated directly by UWC International and the UWC schools. However, scholarships are NOT available. You can find more information about the GSP here.
- If you have lived in Indonesia but you are not an Indonesian citizen, you can contact the other National Committee of your citizenship to explore the application process and requirements.
Please note that you are only allowed to submit one application per academic year to study at UWC. You may choose to apply through the UWC National Committee of Indonesia, another National Committee (if eligible), or through the Global Selection Programme (GSP). You are not permitted to apply through more than one route in the same academic year.
