Baret Scholars is similar to that of a year at a top-tier university in the United States, even though the Baret program is in 7 regions of the world versus a single campus. For 2024–25, Baret Scholars tuition will be $64,500. Baret Scholars provides and arranges for all flights and transportation plus 7-days-a-week room and dining for the entire program year. This includes for the fall term (from Sept 20, 2024 to December 11, 2025) and for the winter/spring term (from January 19 to May 15.) It also includes all Travel/Room/ Dining Fees for both the Home Base cities and for the Fellowship cities. Merit Scholarships of $20,000, $30,000, and $40,000 are offered and we look forward to distributing it to our most deserving candidates.

1. The Morning Program
In every region, we bring expert speakers, thinkers, artists, and leaders to inspire a nuanced understanding of the world they’re exploring and the lives they’re planning: like a traveling TED.

2. Independent Exploration
Students choose how to spend afternoons, evenings, and their long weekends. Nothing is forced - but everything is on the table.

3. Advising Program
Traveling with the 180 Baret Scholars are 15 full-time advisors who come from all corners of the globe and are experts in all corners of life.

4. Fellowships - 70+ to Choose From
In each region, students choose how they spend their last 10 days. A panoply of opportunities are given to them, all educationally themed and led by Fellows.
