HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

A Global University Experience

Experience the world and learn the skills needed to change it.

Combining rigorous academics with immersive global experience and lifelong professional support, Minerva University is the only university built for the 21st-century scholar.

Minerva University is already home to many UWC students from all over the world, who seek to continue their understanding of the world through a truly unique undergraduate experience.

As an institution committed to supporting youth to be effective global leaders, we are offering scholarships in addition to need-based aid to two graduates of United World Colleges admitted to the class of 2027 during the Early Action or Regular Decision I cycles. This scholarship will cover the loan portion of the selected students' financial aid package during the 2023-2024 academic year. Selected students will be the 2 admits who demonstrate the highest financial need out of all admits associated with UWC.

We are now accepting applications for Fall 2023 enrollment.
