[quote=Anonymous]My kid went to one of the overseas United World Colleges as a Davis Scholar for the last two years of high school, completing the IB diploma there. The Davis Scholarship requires they return to the U.S. for university/college and the scholarship continues for four more years of college.  It’s competitive to get the Davis scholarship (50 scholarships were awarded for over 600 U.S. applicants during the year that DC applied), but UWC is a feeder of students to top universities in the U.S.  so it is worth the effort of the application and interview process and good preparation for the college process. There are more than 100 Davis Scholars at Brown University at any given time, for example; there are over 100 at Middlebury College right now, and a large number at Princeton where the Davis family went to college,  etc). It was life-changing in all the best ways for DC who returned to a top US university, very well prepared, having had a once in a lifetime experience.

Yes, it was hard on the us, the parents. But seeing the growth and excitement and the opportunities for DC made it worthwhile. [/quote]
