Scholarship Criteria
NSGT™ scholarships are awarded to NSGT™ members to support their academic, intellectual, and cognitive development. Funds can be used to help pay tuition for various academic programs, such as after-school, weekend, summer, and distance learning. Funds can also be used to support independent projects, paying for equipment, supplies, and mentors. The funds may be used for up to one year.
Students need to complete the one-page application available at www.NSGT.org or by request at 800-572-6748. In addition, students need to submit a detailed description (one page) of how they propose to use the funding. This description should include:
- The purpose of the program or project
- A description of the program or project
- The expected outcome
- How the program or project will be evaluated
- What resources will be used
- A budget
In addition to the description, applicants need to submit one letter of recommendation from a teacher or administrator. If the project includes a mentor, that person must also submit a letter of support and agreement to participate in the project.
Students may submit additional materials to support their application, such as school projects or papers, listings of honors or awards won, or any other evidence of their academic creativity and success.
A team of educators in the field of gifted education will review the applications and choose the scholarship winners.
