UWC Costa Rica has been a beneficiary of their substantial generosity in the form of full scholarships and donations that allowed for the founding of UWC Costa Rica in 2006. The 9 Grieg Foundation Scholars come from 6 different Latin American countries and are attributed with the qualities of leadership, resiliency, and strong potential as agents of change.
