Tate’s Eion Blanchard Awarded Telluride Summer Scholarship

June 23, 2013

Tate High School junior Eion Blanchard has been awarded a full scholarship to the 2013 Telluride Association Summer Program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, “Food”.

This year Telluride Association is co-sponsoring four programs, two with Cornell University and two with the University of  Michigan. These six-week-long educational programs involve college-level seminars for  gifted and highly motivated high school juniors.

Admission to the TASPs is highly selective. This year’s 64 participants were chosen from 1,256 applications from all parts of the United States and abroad. The Telluride Summer Programs solicit applicants from high scorers on the Educational Testing Service’s PSAT and receive recommendations of potential applicants from school  teachers and counselors.

Telluride Association is an independent not­ for­ profit educational organization that has offered summer programs to high school juniors of exceptional promise since 1954.

    64 out of 1256 applications means a 5% acceptance rate.. That’s lower than Harvard…!
