Scholarships for Students Through Grade 12 (continued)

Kentucky

Kentucky Association for Gifted Education (KAGE) Foundation Scholarships

The KAGE Foundation provides scholarship assistance to qualified elementary and secondary students throughout Kentucky who, because of financial need, would otherwise be discouraged from participating in the summer gifted programs offered by Kentucky's public universities. These programs provide highly capable students with curricula different from that in most regular classrooms and, most importantly, offer opportunities for such students to work with their intellectual peers. For information visit www.wku.edu/Dept/Academic/Education/KAGE/foundation.html.

Mississippi

Mississippi Association for Gifted Children (MAGC) Scholarships for Students

This scholarship is provided to students who would not be able to otherwise attend summer programs due to financial considerations. The nomination must be submitted by the student’s teacher.

North Carolina

North Carolina Association for the Gifted and Talented (NCAGT) Student Scholarships

NCAGT's Student Scholarships are intended to assist North Carolina's gifted students, K-12, to excel in an area of interest or achievement. Scholarship funds are awarded to help finance an original project which holds promise for the advancement of learning or contributes to some field of endeavor, or an instructional opportunity not available within a student's local school system. Individual scholarships will be awarded in amounts up to $250. Any student is eligible, grades K-12, who currently qualifies as academically and/or intellectually gifted according to state or locally defined guidelines, and whose application is sponsored by a current member of NCAGT/PAGE.

Ohio

Ohio Association for Gifted Children (OAGC) Scholarship Award

Twice each year OAGC offers scholarships to K-12 Ohio students for special activities that extend their special talent/interest areas. Nominations of scholarship candidates must be made by a current OAGC member. Awards of up to 75% of the cost of the program with a maximum award of $500 per student per year will be observed. Exceptional circumstances will be considered by the review committee. An effort will be made to award a majority of the applicants to some extent, rather than making a few large awards to a small number of applicants.
