Friends of the Center
Center for the Education and Study of the Gifted, Talented, Creative is very pleased to announce a $350,000 bequest from the estate of Eleanor Foote, a longtime advocate of gifted education in the state of Colorado and supporter of the Summer Enrichment Program. These funds now form the base of an endowment for the Center. A portion of the earnings from the endowment will be used to provide scholarships for students to attend the Summer Enrichment Programs and for graduate students to pursue advanced degrees, research initiatives in gifted and talented education, and to support workshops and symposia for educators and parents of children and youth who are gifted, talented, creative.
