SIG Beyond at Fairfield University: Eligibility

The SIG Beyond Saturday Program is open to students currently in grades 1-6 who have evidence of high academic ability and/or achievement. Students who meet one of the following criteria are invited to apply:

  • Academically talented students currently in grades 1-6 who have scored in the 95th percentile or above in at least one of the major content areas or ability sections of a nationally-normed standardized test administered by their schools (IOWA, CAT, MAT, CTBS, SRA, TERRA NOVA, etc.).
  • Students who have been identified as gifted and/ or who have participated successfully in a local or school gifted program.
If no local or school gifted program exists, or if no test scores are available, two Letter of Recommendation forms can be submitted. Students should submit one letter from a teacher and one letter from a school administrator who is familiar with the student’s record and performance. For children in grades 1-3, one letter may be from a parent. SIG Letter of Recommendation forms are available online at www.giftedstudy.org.
