You must be free for the entire program duration in order to participate. Students live in a residence house on the Harvard University campus seven days a week, including weekends. Families can visit on most Sundays. Students will be assigned reading on basic science and environmental themes before the program begins so that they can make the most of the experts who will be teaching them. Thus, during the week there is NOT much free time.
Most activities are group-oriented and designed to be innovative, enriching, and enjoyable.
We want everyone to have fun. The first chapter was founded at Stanford University in 1994. Last year, a Harvard University chapter was established. More chapters are expected to arise in the future. No former graduate of Quest Scholars Program has ever dropped out of college.
