Membership in the National Society for the Gifted & Talented™ is open to high ability learners who seek exciting learning opportunities, search for challenging ways to develop talents, and hope to interact with creative and talented peers like themselves.

The NSGT invites parents to sponsor their children who are currently in Kindergarten through twelfth grade for membership. Your child is eligible for membership if he or she meets at least one of the following requirements:

• Identification as gifted or successful participation in a local, school, regional, state, or national gifted program.
• Scores at the 95th percentile or above in at least one major content area or ability section on a nationally-normed standardized test, or scores at the highest performance level on a standardized state test. Click here for a list of accepted national and state tests.
• Scores in the gifted range on the PSAT, SAT, ACT or SSATB.
• Submits two letters of recommendation - one letter from an educator familiar with the student's academic and performance record, and one letter from a parent describing the child's talents and abilities.
