Our 3-step admissions process will help decide whether your goals are a match with our program and community.

But before you dive into the application, take a beat to explore our Take Action Lab program. See how it aligns with your goals and education.

Let’s get into it:

  • 17-21 years old
  • A high school graduate

02 FEASIBILITY

Gather & Prepare

If your application indicates a strong fit for Take Action Lab, you’ll be invited to Step Two, Feasibility.

We’ll work together to confirm you can travel abroad and thrive in the program. Heads up, this part can get a little hectic.

Wait, how much does this cost?

Good question.

Tuition: $21,000 USD

We award both need-based financial aid and merit scholarships because we want people from all backgrounds to have access to this opportunity. Learn more about tuition & aid.

You’ll have three weeks to submit:

PASSPORT

Apply for your passport or (better yet!) confirm you already have one.

HEALTH HISTORY
Fill out our health history form and create a plan to get the necessary vaccinations.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION

If you require financial aid, you’ll complete our custom financial aid application. Learn more here.

03 FINALIZE

Offer & Enroll

Finally, our Admissions Committee will review the applications that made it through Step 2 and curate a truly exceptional class from all over the world. Individual merit, the support we’re able to provide, and the balance of the class as a whole are considered in the final selection process.

If you’re chosen to join Take Action Lab, congrats! You’ll get an offer letter welcoming you to the program and outlining your tuition and financial aid package.
