- What is a National Committee? Great question! A National Committee (or NC) is a volunteer-powered organization responsible for the recruitment and selection of students from their respective country wanting to attend UWC. We are the National Committee of Canada (NCC) responsible for Canadian applicants! The NCC serves as a hub to provide support to UWC students and their families while attending UWC and is a growing network for UWC alumni from and in Canada. Canada first established a UWC national committee in the late 1960's to send students to the first UWC, Atlantic College in Wales. Members of that National Committee went on to help found the second UWC College in the movement - Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific, in 1974. From the mid-70's to 2016, Pearson College served as the National Committee of Canada. In 2016, the UWC National Committee of Canada was re-established as a not-for-profit charity in Canada.
