The Davidson Institute is seeking profoundly gifted students, ages 13 through 16, who are interested in attending the 2009 THINK Summer Institute.  THINK is a three-week residential summer program on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno where students can earn six college credits by completing two university-level courses taught by university professors.

The 2009 THINK Summer Institute will run from July 11 through August 1. Tuition is $2,700 and covers course credits, room and board and the cost of planned programs and activities. Financial assistance is available based on need.

To qualify, students must be 13 to 16 years old during THINK, and must meet or exceed designated SAT or ACT scores.  The deadline for early acceptance is January 14, 2009.
