21 NCWA Scholars to Attend Prestigious International Relations Programs At Universities in North America and Abroad During 2026 |
Each year, the Naples Council on World Affairs invites the most promising high school juniors in our area with an interest in world events to apply for scholarships to prestigious one- to three-week study programs in the U.S. and other countries. Each year, the number of applications grows, and the number of NCWA members willing to support the development of our future leaders grows along with it. NCWA is proud of its investment of time, energy and commitment -- as well as financial support -- in the leaders of tomorrow. We urge you to look over this list of 21 NCWA Scholars who will attend the selected programs in the summer of 2026. Go to the subsequent pages on U.S. and International programs to learn about what they will study. What they learn about the world will serve them well in the future. We invite you to get involved, either by participating in organizing these programs or donating to funds that support them.

NCWA STUDENT PROGRAM ALUMNI Many alumni of NCWA student programs -- summer scholarships, Model UN and Academic WorldQuest -- have developed their international relations experience through participation in more than one of our programs. After graduation from local high schools, they have built on that experience in their college careers and beyond. Some of our alumni are now in careers in international relations or diplomacy or are working in fields relating to the interest in international relations developed in their high school years through NCWA programs. We bring them together to share their experiences in the NCWA Student Alumni Association or are proud to report their progress when we hear from them. To learn what they are doing now, click here to access the Student Alumni page on our website. |
