<b>Davidson Young Scholars Application Available <br>
</b>The national Davidson Young Scholars program provides FREE support,
information and resources to families of profoundly gifted students.
Through an online community and annual event, Young Scholars have the
opportunity to meet others with similar interests and abilities, and
utilize their talents to maximize their educational potential and make a
difference in the lives of others. Parents collaborate with a team of
knowledgeable Family Consultants who provide individualized services
based on each family’s unique needs, most often in the areas of
educational advocacy and planning, social and emotional development, and
enrichment opportunities. Read Young Scholar Success Stories
