Khaja, a Fayette County High junior, has been selected to attend United World College in Walke, UK this fall as a Davis United World College Scholar. He will study Global Health and International Development and earn his IB diploma, as well.

The strategic objective of the Davis UWC Scholars Program is to advance international understanding through education. The program is built on two assumptions: 1) that promising future leaders from a broad range of cultures should be afforded greater educational opportunities and serve to accelerate global networking; 2) that these educational opportunities take place at leading U.S. colleges and universities, in the belief that these American schools will become more effective learning communities for all their students by becoming more internationally diverse and globally engaged.
