To apply for UWC from Syria, you must meet the following criteria:

• Be Syrian or Palestinian with a Syrian travel document
• Have an above-average academic record
• Have completed or are currently enrolled in 10th grade
• Be 16 – 17 years of age by September 1, 2024 (applications are exceptionally accepted from 18 year-olds who have had interruptions in their studies)
• Be ready to study at any of the UWC schools or colleges around the world

Please use the table below to check if you qualify for application this year.

Students born between September 1, 2005 and August 31, 2006 will be considered if they have been through exceptional circumstances (displacement, disruptions in their schooling, etc.) as a result of the ongoing war in Syria. Most schools have strict age criteria and do not accept students younger than 16 and older than 18 by September 2024. For the few schools that have exceptions, the UWC Syrian National Committee has to make a strong case for students who do not meet the age criterion.

Please note that we no longer accept students who are younger than 16 by September 1, 2023.
