The South Carolina Junior Scholars Program was developed by the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) during the 1985-86 school year to identify eighth grade students with exceptional academic talent and to develop strategies for inclusion into special programs.
Eligibility for testing criteria:
- Students must currently be enrolled in eighth grade in a public, private, or home school in South Carolina.
- Home-schooled students must meet home school statute eligibility (S. C. Code Ann. §59-65-40, §59-65-45, §59-65-47) to participate.
Identification criteria include:
- Students who scored 550 or higher on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing or 530 or higher on the Math portion of the PSAT/NMSQT; or
- Students who participated in Duke University's Talent Identification Program (TIP) during their seventh-grade year, who met the eligibility requirements as outlined by that program, and were identified and recognized by Duke TIP at the State Recognition or Grand Recognition ceremony will be identified as South Carolina Junior Scholars.
