Road Scholar Programs
The world’s largest education and travel organization for adults
Inspired by the youth hostels and folk schools of Europe and guided by the needs of older adults seeking new experiences and personal enrichment, Road Scholar is based on the belief that retirement does not mean withdrawal from the meaningful activity and that the later years should be viewed as an opportunity to enjoy new challenges.
Road Scholar is a not-for-profit organization with 40 years of experience offering low-cost, short-term residential programs for older adults. CMU’s Road Scholar programs are among the most popular in the country.
