The Baret Scholars is a selective program. Our application seeks to uncover your talents, ambitions, and desire to be a Baret Scholar.
What makes a Baret Scholar?
There is no one mold for a Baret Scholar. We are looking for independent and dynamic students of the world seeking their best year yet. All of our scholars demonstrate a deep sense of curiosity and care — both for themselves and the people around them.
Every student who applies to be a Baret Scholar is reviewed holistically: we seek to understand who you are, what drives you, and how you see this journey around the world amplifying the larger journey of your life.
