In 2000 the Davis United World College Scholars program began providing scholarships to graduates of UWCs who chose to attend Colby College, College of the Atlantic, Middlebury College, Princeton University or Wellesley College. College of the Atlantic was proud to have eight Davis Scholars in the class that entered in 2000. Since then the program has grown and UWC graduates receive financial support from the Davis United World College Scholars program to attend seventy-six U.S. colleges and universities. COA continues to benefit from the generosity of the Davis family and the presence of UWC alumni; more than ninety UWC graduates currently attend or have graduated from COA.
