Javits-Frasier Scholarship Application Information

How to Apply for the Javits-Frasier Scholarship for Diverse Talent Development

The primary purpose of the Javits-Frasier Teacher Scholarship Fund for Diverse Talent Development is to increase culturally and linguistically diverse students' access to talent development opportunities through teacher and school counselor/psychologist training and support related to equity and excellence in gifted education.

NAGC recognizes the vital role that educators play in identifying and developing gifts and talents in today's diverse student body and supports nationwide efforts to provide training to ensure highly qualified educators in every classroom. In addition, NAGC values equity and excellence and is committed to developing leaders who can effectively advocate for historically under-represented groups.  Therefore, this scholarship program seeks to identify passionate, innovative educators in communities across the country where students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are historically under-represented in gifted programs. Educators from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.

Scholarship recipients receive professional development opportunities that include:

1. up to $500 travel stipend to attend the NAGC Annual Convention;
2. complimentary registration to the NAGC Annual Convention;
3. teaching resource toolkit and link to an advisor; and
4. a full 2-year membership in NAGC.
