Gap Fellows Adventure in Britain
As a BAEF Gap Fellow you can take part in an adventure in Britain:
- Experience the richness of British boarding school life
- Take on leadership roles in sports, art, drama, music and extracurricular activities
- Travel in the British Isles and Europe during school vacation
- Enhance your American college experience
- Improve your credentials for applying to British universities
- Take a break from school to hone life skills
Most Gap Fellows will be moving from life as a student for the first time. British schools are aware of this and support Gap Fellows in their evolution to a new role. Participants in the program will be entering a new world in two ways, not only in new responsibilities, but also in an unfamiliar country where traditions and expectations are quite different from U.S. schools.
This new role presents an opportunity for great personal reward. Gap Fellows will return to the U.S. with exposure to a different and fulfilling way of life and increased interest by admissions departments and employers alike.
