The school is attended by around 200 mixed-gender students aged between 16 and 19, mostly on full scholarship, from around 90 countries of the world, who study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a two-year internationally recognized pre-university program. The school is hosted in the village of Duino, between Trieste and Monfalcone, in North-Eastern Italy in the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, less than 5 km from the Slovenian border. It was founded in 1982, by the Region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, with the support of the Italian Government (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), who are still the major financial supporters of the College. ==Students and staff== The students of UWCAd are selected by UWC national selection committees in their home countries (in e.g. Germany,〔http://www.uwc.de/〕 Philippines,〔http://uwcphilippines.tumblr.com/about〕 India,〔http://www.uwccommindia.net/site/〕 UK〔http://www.uwcgb.org/〕) on the basis of academic achievement, leadership potential, extracurricular activities involvement and personal qualities. The students selected are awarded a full scholarship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.uwc.org/how_to_apply/default.aspx )〕 The Italian National Committee for United World Colleges acts under the patronage of the President of the Italian Republic〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.uwcad.uwc.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=54 )〕 and is responsible for communication with the international organisation and for the selection of Italian pupils.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.it.uwc.org/commissione )〕 In academic year 2011-12, the school will host 184 students,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.uwcad.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=56 )〕 of which approximately 15% are Italian, 15% come from Western Europe, 20% from Eastern Europe, 15% from the Americas, 15% from Africa and the Middle East and 20% from Asia and Oceania.
