United World Colleges has a network of National Committees based in almost every country in the world. At present, Pestalozzi offers scholarships to students from Belize, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tibetan communities in exile in Nepal and India.
Former partner organisations in those countries are encouraged to nominate candidates meeting all our selection criteria to the National Committees. As a result, the process will also allow us to consider candidates from a wider range of schools. Pestalozzi staff have the opportunity to join the National Committee members and observe some of the selection process in each country.
