Alumnus Darren Huston (UWCAD 83-85), visits the College and establishes a new scholarship scheme. Alumni are not just the "primary outcome" of UWC. They are also a source of sometimes unexpected ways to support fundraising for scholarships. While he was CEO of Booking.com alumnus Darren Huston (UWCAD 83-85) visited the College and held a lecture. While he was talking about his life and career he was struck by the fact that his audience comprised so many young travelers from around the world and that all UWC alumni travel too - actually, as UWCers they tend to do so quite extensively! So - he thought - how about creating a way for the Alumni to give to the College simply by using Booking.com? The grant is open-ended and variable and depends on the bookings our alumni, students and staff members make through Booking.com: the greater the bookings, the higher the grant! When the grant amount reaches the value of a scholarship it is allocated to a student as a Booking.com Scholarship.
