The World University Championships (WUC) occurs in even numbered years and is an international competition between participating countries. The competition is overseen by FISU (International University Sports Federation). FISU also offers the World University Games (WUG) in odd numbered years. The events offered in each competition are the same. The difference being that WUG has all (mostly) Olympic Sports together in one city over a one to two week time period, similar to an Olympic Games, and WUC is staged as individual sporting contests throughout the calendar year, around the world. Many rowing federations treat it as a development opportunity for athletes with international potential.

This is a self-funded opportunity. We estimate the costs to be between $3,000 and $5,000 per athlete, which will cover the event competition fees, event lodging and food, event transportation, coaching, training fees, and a gear package. Contributions are tax-deductible.
Athletes on this team must meet the following criteria:
2K Standards: Men: Sub-6:10, Women: Sub-7:10. Lightweight Men: Sub-6:20, Lightweight Women: Sub-7:25. Others may be considered, depending on the athlete 's weight.
Invitations will be heavily weighted on coaches’ recommendations and the video clips submitted.
There are no trials for this team, the group will be selected and priority boats determined as the camp evolves. All those selected will be racing in an event. We are not committed to filling every seat and will only accept candidates who have the potential to compete internationally.
