About Baret Scholars, via ICGS:

Named after Jeanne Baret, the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, Baret Scholars is a global gap year program that brings together a cohort of 180 just-graduated high school students from around the world to journey across seven regions (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, India/Southeast Asia, and China/East Asia), over 200 days, in a semi-structured and self-guided gap year experience. These scholars will explore their personal interests in different regions via prominent local speakers, curated traveling Fellowships, and optional volunteer opportunities.

Baret Scholars’ mission is to provide students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the world, paving the way for years of fulfillment and achievement. The program serves as a foundation for the scholars’ future, fostering cultural literacy, a global perspective, and a desire to create a better world.

Luke Hayman and his team at Pentagram were commissioned to design a book about scholarships, gap years, and studying abroad. The typography combines Guyot (in Text and Headline sizes) with Founders Grotesk (in regular-wide and Condensed widths). The illustrations are by Adam Simpson (London).
