NUMATS Award Ceremony

Center for Talent Development’s annual NUMATS Award Ceremony is hosted on Northwestern University’s campus and recognizes tremendous academic achievement. Award recipients have scored in the top one to two percent on tests taken through NUMATS. Each year a renowned Northwestern professor presents new ideas and guidance in a keynote address.

The NUMATS Award Ceremony is dedicated to

• recognizing extraordinary academic achievement,
• helping students further their scholar identity,
• acknowledging outstanding gifted coordinators who have supported and encouraged award recipients, and
• providing access to current Northwestern faculty.

NUMATS students and families enjoy gathering at an event in which their unique abilities are celebrated, and where every other student present has a similar passion for learning.

Center for Talent Development also sponsors state ceremonies in six Midwestern states in order to recognize even more high-achieving students. Students recognized at these ceremonies typically have scored in the top five percent.
