Editing Talent Identification Program (section)

== History ==
Duke TIP was founded in 1980 by a grant from the [[The Duke Endowment|Duke Endowment]].<ref name=":0" /> At the time, the goal of the program was to identify and provide educational opportunities to help the children reach their full educational potential. The program initially focused on seventh graders, and later expanded to grades four through twelve, allowing the program full reach of [[Middle school|middle]] and [[high school]] students.

Due to COVID pandemic disruptions, in 2020 and 2021 the programs were unable to run. As a result the TIP Summer Studies program and the Academic Talent Search were permanently cancelled.  Beginning in 2022, all pre-college students were directed to Duke's Continuing Studies program.<ref>{{cite web |title=Duke Talent Identification Program – Cancellation Message |url=https://tip.duke.edu/ |website=tip.duke.edu |access-date=18 July 2022 |date=10 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120131040/https://tip.duke.edu/ |archive-date=20 January 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="AlumniClosureMessage">{{cite web |title=An Important Message about Duke TIP |url=https://alumni.tip.duke.edu/ |website=alumni.tip.duke.edu |access-date=18 July 2022 |date=30 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220330070803/https://alumni.tip.duke.edu/ |archive-date=30 March 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=End of Tip |url=https://archive.tipwiki.net/A/End_of_Tip.html |website=tipwiki.net |access-date=18 July 2022}}</ref>
