2017

The California Association of IB World Schools is very proud to announce our scholarship and award winners for 2017. Thank you to our member schools who submitted such amazing applications. Reading them was an inspiring, joyous and humbling experience. The quality of IB students and educators in our state is unparalleled, while the diversity of thought and action represents what is unique and exemplary about the IB. For 2017 we had an unprecedented number of applications and every single candidate was worthy of the award. This made the choice of winners very challenging. In the end, after much consideration and deliberation, the award committees were able to reach unanimous decisions. It is therefore our profound joy to announce the winners of the CAWS scholarships and awards for 2017.
