Who Can Participate?
Gifted students entering fifth grade through ninth grade are eligible to apply. Each applicant must complete online registration. If you are new to the Gifted Institute, you are required to provide two online recommendation forms completed by school personnel. Previous Institute participants need not obtain recommendations. This online link can be sent to teachers you have requested to complete the recommendation. All recommendations are due by June 1st to complete your registration. The link to this form is on the right hand side menu.
Housing and Meals
Because the benefits of the Institute rely heavily on the interaction of campers with peers and supervisors, the campers are required to stay in Guadalupe Hall, which is located on Carroll's Campus. The campers will be chaperoned by qualified college students and adults. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served by Sodexho in the Carroll College Campus Center.
Cost of the Institute
The total cost of the 2022 Gifted Institute is $845. This includes a $50 non-refundable application fee and $795 tuition fee. Tuition can be broken up into payments. Upon acceptance, a $300 tuition deposit is required in order to select class preferences (refundable until June 1st). Full tuition is due by July 1st.
Tuition assistance may be available to those who qualify.
