Awards & Scholarships
Each year, the North Carolina Association for the Gifted and Talented recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of gifted education. Annual Awards and Scholarships are presented at the NCAGT Annual Conference.
Congratulations to all 2017 NCAGT Award Recipients!
"Help Us Spread the Word!"
Since NCAGT is proudly hosting the convention for the National Association for Gifted Children this fall in Charlotte, November 9-12, NCAGT will hold a one-day institute in March in lieu of the usual 2 day conference. For that reason, NCAGT will be awarding a limited number of scholarships for the 2017-2018 school year, but we will return with the full program in the spring of 2019!
The nomination window is now open for the following student scholarships:
2018 Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award
This award program is designed to recognize distinguished achievement in academics, leadership, or the arts in children grades 3 through 6. A Nicholas Green Distinguished Student winner receives a $250 check from NCAGT, a national letter of recognition, and a Certificate of Excellence from NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children). In addition, the parents/caregivers of the winner receive a complimentary parent membership in NAGC for one year. Click here for more information on nominating a student.
