Duke TIP 4th-6th Grade Talent Search helps exceptionally bright students discover and explore their academic talents and interests, gain a deeper understanding of their academic skills and potential, and celebrate their achievements at a pivotal stage in their development. As well, Duke TIP offers these students additional learning opportunities and programming to supplement the classroom learning.
