Support Our Summer Program
Though most of our students went home before travel restrictions prevented it, around 50 students cannot return home mostly because their countries have closed for entry.
These students are still on campus and most will not be able to leave Norway for the entire summer. We want to make sure they are well supported and have a special experience in Norway on campus and beyond.
During the month of June UWC Norway and our host families have generously offered to host the students in their private homes. In July, our students will come back to campus for an extraordinary Summer Program, with a variety of activities and possibilities. Including coastal cleanup in co-operation with Sogn & Fjordane Friluftsråd.
We seek support for costs covering:
- Transport
- Food
- Summer program activities

Support the Renovation of Students Village
The Renovation of the student houses is going according to our plans.
Two Houses ready. In February, our students moved back into a completely renovated Finland House with improved living conditions. With good leadership from our residential team, their time in the barracks was spent well and even enjoyed by some. At the end of May Norway House was completed. Worn on Sweden House has begun.
Funding. The Norwegian Education Department has given us an extra 3 million annually for the period we are doing this work. We need an equal amount from alumni and friends to carry out the operation. Help the coming generations of our students to benefit from the same good standards in their daily living.
Online donations can be made below.
We turn to alumni and friends to seek support for our work in enabling all our students to succeed.

Skattefradrag for gåver til Røde Kors Nordisk United World College (UWC RCN)
På gåver til UWC RCN mellom kr 500 og kr 50,000 blir det gitt skattefrådrag frå første krone.
Maksimalt frådrag for gaver 50,000 pr år.
For at du skal kunne få skattefradrag, må vi vite fødselsnummeret ditt samt namn og adresse. Dette, saman med beløpet du har gitt, må sendast inn til skattemyndigheitene av oss. Dersom UWC RCN ikkje har fødselsnummeret ditt, kan vi ikkje melde inn gaven til skattemyndigheitene, og du vil ikkje få skattefrådrag.
Vi sender ut årsoppgåvene i januar til alle som har gitt til saman 500 kr eller meir i det foregåande året. Denne kan du bruke for å sjekke at riktig beløp er ført i sjølvmeldinga (3.3.7. Andre fradrag: Gaver til frivillige organisasjoner og tros- og livssynssamfunn).
Gåver gitt på Vipps og Go Fund me
Når du gjev ei gåve via Vipps får vi ikkje personopplysningane dine. Om du vil ha skattefradrag for slike gaver, må du ta kontakt med oss direkte slik at vi kan registrere gåven din og fødselsnummeret ditt.
For innsending av personopplysninger, ta kontakt med Mostak Rahman på epost: mostak.rahman@uwcrcn.no
Når det gjelder Vipps må du gjerne ha dokumentasjon på gåva klart (kvittering, skjermbilder, mm), så er det lettere for oss å hjelpe deg.
