The Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving academically gifted youth. Gifts from supporters allow Duke TIP to continue our work with gifted youth, their families, and educators through scholarships and expanded program offerings.

Friends of Duke TIP

With a small endowment and a young alumni constituency, Duke TIP must rely on the annual financial support of generous alumni, parents, friends, foundations, and corporations. Gifts of all levels to the Friends of Duke TIP annual fund play an invaluable role in providing financial assistance to academically-qualified students who are not able to benefit from our educational programs, talent searches, and educational products. Your gift helps future TIPsters have one of the best experiences of their lives.

If you wish to provide a Duke TIP named scholarship to attend a Summer Studies Program, we will identify an academically qualified student who would not otherwise have the financial resources to experience a TIP program. A Duke TIP named scholarship is established with an annual minimum gift equal to the current year full program course fee. To discuss this opportunity, please contact Deborah-Kay Hughes at dkhughes@tip.duke.edu or call (919) 668-9132. If you wish to provide Duke TIP with a gift, you may do so online via the Duke University secure giving site. or by mail by using the annual giving form.
