Gifted Education Fellowship

About this program

The Mensa Foundation offers the Gifted Education Fellowship to support educators pursuing graduate study in gifted education or a closely related field, providing $5,000 annually and potential renewal for one additional year for eligible non-doctoral students. Fellows also receive professional-development opportunities and recognition, and may contribute research or educational resources to the Foundation and its affiliates. Applicants must be enrolled at an accredited U.S. institution, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, demonstrate degree progress, and submit a proposal aligned with the Foundation’s mission. Applications, including proof of enrollment and supporting materials, are due March 1 of the award year.
