Support Students in Need – Support Peace – Support Diversity – Support Woodstock

Woodstock’s Scholars for Peace initiative enables students from fragile states or conflict-affected regions to join our international community. Part of our wider financial aid programme, Scholars for Peace provides full financial support to deserving students who can demonstrate merit and financial need. The initiative was launched in 2010, when a generous alumnus and his partner funded two students from Afghanistan.

With your help we can bring additional Scholars for Peace students to campus, including recent applicants from Ukraine.

With more Scholars for Peace growing and contributing to our campus community, Woodstock can take an even bigger role in ensuring this amazing institution continues to be a place of refuge and growth for those who need it most, is culturally diverse, AND is fiscally healthy.
