The Horizon Foundation, founded in 2004 by Patrick and Kirkland Smulders, provides scholarships for deserving students from the Middle East and Asia. After initially supporting scholars at four UWC schools , in 2016 the Horizon Foundation decided to expand the partnership and together with UWC International started a Horizon-UWC Scholarship Program supporting refugee students, young people from conflict zones and other students coming from underprivileged and marginalised backgrounds. 

So far, Horizon has supported 98 Horizon-UWC scholars over multiple years.
