Since 1980, Duke TIP has served nearly 3 million gifted students with a variety of programs and benefits. In general, students who score at or above the 95th percentile on a grade-level standardized test are eligible to join Duke TIP.

Thanks to a major grant of $150,000 by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, the Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) will be able to continue its groundbreaking Project Launch program for a fifth consecutive cycle.

Fifth- and sixth-grade students can now attend a residential program at this Nashville, Tennessee, university.

Since 1980, Duke TIP has engaged over 2.8 million youth who scored at or above the 95th percentile on a grade-level standardized test. Last year, nearly 64,000 academically talented seventh graders accepted the invitation to participate in the 7th Grade Talent Search.
