Applications now open for 2027 international relations summer study programs |
Applications are now open for NCWA Scholars summer programs for standout juniors from Collier and Lee counties. The international and domestic programs include international relations, diplomacy, leadership, global health, climate, Model UN and national security topics. Summer programs are located at Oxford, Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, American, Tufts Boston, Tufts France, Japan, and Germany/EU, and Panama programs by The Experiment in International Living. | 21 students were awarded summer scholarships for 2026. Many of the scholarships are generously funded by NCWA members who are major donors to the program, as well as NCWA itself. The donors met the 2026 scholarship winners at an ice cream social on April 7, as well as the students' parents and/or guardians and teachers.

20 NCWA Scholars Attended Prestigious International Relations |
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.

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. |
