Give a Gift that Lasts a Lifetime

     In 1967, Twin Cities Institute for Talented Youth (TCITY) was launched when several Minneapolis and St. Paul public school educators, along with their academically gifted students, sought a way to continue learning beyond the regular school year.  In 1995, TCITY became Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth (MITY) to reflect its broadened student population that included students from around Minnesota, the U.S. and the world.

     MITY’s summer and weekend academic enrichment programs empower advanced learners to do a deep dive into areas not typically covered in school with like-minded peers. A 2024 scholarship recipient shared, "Going to MITY gave me a taste of my future and helped me find my calling!" Another student wrote, "I was able to experience life on a college campus and meet a lot of different people. It really changed my perspective on things."

	"MITY is growing the minds of future scientists and leaders who will solve the world's very complex problems we will face in the next 50 years." - 2024 parent
"This is investing in the future, in kids who need to be challenged to rise to their full potential." - 2024 parent

     At MITY, we believe every motivated student deserves a chance to explore their potential, regardless of ability to pay, and are committed to raising financial support to ensure all talented young people can see a brighter future for themselves. MITY's goal is to meet the financial need of all qualified applicants. Please consider giving to help more young people explore their potential. 100% of your tax-deductible gift goes to student scholarships! Your gift can change a child's life.
