Utley student wins Gifted & Talented scholarship

ROCKWALL ISD (April 29,2014) The Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented (TAGT) is proud to announce that Michael Bess, a seventh grade student at Utley Middle School, has been selected to receive a 2014 TAGT Summer Scholarship.

Michael will be awarded with $400 toward the cost of attending SMU’s ID Tech camp this summer.

TAGT awards summer scholarships to “identified” gifted students who are currently participating in a gifted program and who want to enrich their learning experience during the summer months. These scholarships are based upon merit, not financial need. Multiple awards of up to $400 are given each year. Scholarships may be used to attend academic or artistic programs during the summer months.

Congratulations ​Michael Bess!​
