Duke TIP Scholar Weekend this March at UGA
The University of Georgia will host a UGA-Duke TIP Scholar Weekend March 28-29, 2020.
The Scholar Weekend program gives students the chance to study a topic that’s outside the typical school curriculum, and to do so in a college environment with like-minded peers.
Scholar Weekends are open to any students in grades 8 to 11 who either took part in the Duke TIP 7th Grade Talent Search, or have been confirmed through the Duke TIP office as meeting the gifted identification standards of their school.
Topics this spring include marine biology, aircraft design, 3-D animation, veterinary medicine, psychology, sports medicine and more.
Students arrive on the UGA campus on Saturday morning, spend the day learning, stay overnight on the UGA campus, and continue their studies on Sunday. Courses are taught by UGA professors, graduate students, professionals, and gifted educators.
Registration deadline is February 21. Popular courses typically fill before the registration deadline. Cost is $450. Limited financial aid may be available.
