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.

Our applications for 2025-26 are open. Please click here to apply

The Application Process

This is a presentation of you.

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.

Who You Are
General information about you, your family, and your most recent school
You in the classroom
We ask that you position yourself in a quartile of your class and provide us with your recent academic transcripts
You outside the
classroom
A minimum of three activities that you participate in outside the classroom- anything that indicates your interests or curiosities.
You at Baret and
beyond
A short video postcard of you addressing other future Baret Scholars or an essay reflecting on your future self.

When should you apply?

Our applications are open

We are currently accepting applications for Baret's journey beginning in September 2025-26. Students who are considering a gap year between high school and university as well as those currently enrolled in university who are seeking a meaningful year away from campus are eligible for the Baret Scholars program.

Note: Students can still apply for our merit-based scholarships; however, we are not currently accepting need-based financial aid applications. We accepted need-based financial aid applicants in our early rounds of admission.
