Congratulations to those of you that are in the top 5% of students in
your grade level!
If you or your child has been nominated for the 4th/5th grade Duke TIP
program, please read your brochure and application thoroughly (or visit the
website www.tip.duke.edu/45gts). Every
year I have parents contact me regarding my experience with the program,
seeking guidance. I wanted to share an email I received recently from a
parent here at Campbell.
"Thanks for sending us the Duke TIP
information for Christian. I wanted to let you know that I
enrolled him and will be taking advantage of the
program. We have had a great experience so far with
Duke TIP through Vincent. Vincent took the ACT last
year in 7th grade and qualified for the Center level summer
program. He went to Trinity University this last summer for
3 weeks and took Computer Programming for Web Applications and will be going to the Duke West Campus this summer for 3 weeks.
Once you qualify, a student has the opportunity to spend 4
summers at a Duke summer program. Vincent had a great
experience last summer and is really looking forward to
going again this summer! Just wanted to pass on some
feedback from one of your students who had been through the
upper level program. Thanks!"
