UWC Zimbabwe typically receives offers for places from 4-8 UWC schools. These UWCs vary from year to year. Each school has a special character and focus, but all the schools are strongly rooted in the UWC ideals and traditions. Candidates do not choose their school, the National Committee matches the selected students to the school that will both challenge and support them best and then nominates the student to the school. The school assesses the nomination and decides whether to accept the student. The National Committee and school decisions are final. 

All students who are accepted for a place at a UWC will complete a financial assessment to determine how much financial support the school and NC will need to provide to enable the student to attend UWC. No students will be turned down because of lack of financial support. 

In 2024, the Zimbabwe National Committee will be selecting students to nominate to the following schools: 

• UWC East Africa (Tanzania)
• UWC Red Cross Nordic (Norway)
• UWC Robert Bosch (Germany)
• UWC South East Asia (Singapore)
• UWC Waterford Kamhlaba (Eswatini)
