Through the Talent Search, high-performing students take a test designed for older students. This above-grade-level testing can reveal more about the academic talents of students who are topping out on grade-level tests. 

CTY will conduct an information session for Newark students, and will be accepting applications on-site from seventh and eight grade students. Johns Hopkins University , along with other philanthropic institutions, is offering scholarships to Newark students who qualify for the CTY program and meet the financial criteria for the scholarships.
