How to Get Started
As an educator, you are a critical member of the identification and support process for gifted students. We appreciate your willingness to offer this valuable educational opportunity to your qualified students.
Program materials arrive in schools during the first week of December. Educators can use this site to:
- Learn about 4th/5th Grade Talent Search benefits, considerations for testing, and the enrollment process.
- Update contact information and request materials: Are you new to the Talent Search, or did your school’s contact change recently? Would you like to request a copy of a Talent Search benefit? Provide us with your school’s current information
- Review the qualifying test information so that you may determine the approximate number of brochures and applications your school needs. If you do not find a particular test listed here or have further questions, email us at qtest45@tip.duke.edu
- Check for grants, which are available to students who qualify for free or reduced lunch programs.
