    UNITING THE WORLD Davis UWC Scholars The 2021 Report of the Davis UWC Scholars Program “I’m trying to stimulate leaders of the future to make a difference through the grounding in education that I’m helping to give them. When I started my business career, I took my own history lesson from Princeton: I learned how leaders make a difference, in their countries, in their centuries. So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in leaders of the future.” SHELBY M.C. DAVIS Co-founder and Philanthropist UNITING THE WORLD “We strive to build critical masses of globally minded young men and women on American campuses, to foster highly personal relationships between outstanding Americans and non-Americans, and to seed global networks.

We welcome students from a deliberately diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. At UWC, diversity extends to differences in socio economic background, culture, race and religion as well as nationality. UWC students are united in their commitment to positive social action to build a more equitable and fairer world. UWC EDUCATION ALL UWC SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES TEACH THE IB DIPLOMA (INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE) The IB Diploma is one of the most well regarded and widely known secondary school quali- fications in the world and is recognised by the world’s leading universities.
