Description
 
 
The Washington Search for Young Scholars (WSYS) was created by the Robinson Center to identify and work with the state's capable students, their families, and their schools to develop more opportunities for academically gifted young people. WSYS is modeled after other talent searches affiliated with universities around the US: Students who score high on achievement tests are invited to register with WSYS. Fifth and 6th grade participants qualify by documenting their high achievement test performance. Seventh and 8th grade participants, however, will have to take a college admissions exam, the ACT, to qualify.

The Washington Search for Young Scholars is a talent search for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. According to their website "WSYS will focus on our state's youth and provide them and their families with recognition and summer programs that are more accessible and affordable. WSYS will also work with our state’s school districts, colleges, and universities to expand program offerings for highly capable students." This is a great resource for Young Scholars who live on the West Coast.
