NCoGS

Back to the Future! We're revisiting Little Rock for the 2012 Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Governor's Schools.

"A history of NCoGS could be written in a few pages, but the true history of our Governor's Schools movement is the history that abides in each and every Governor's School in this country."

With these words, Lil Press and the National Conference of Governor's Schools embark on a project to compile a history of the Governor's School Movement: the development and evolution of governor's schools from their birth in North Carolina in 1963 to the present day. Lil, a founding member and board member emerita of the National Conference of Governor's Schools, is heading this effort.

Several college scholarships are available to alumni of governor's schools. Eligibility for programs differs from school to school, and colleges and universities may change or update eligibility requirements without notice. Some scholarships are open to alumni from any governor's school program, which others are available to alumni from a specific program or specific programs. Review the scholarships to determine eligibility.

The first and most significant benefit of membership in the National Conference of Governor's Schools is belonging to a group of like-minded individuals who are involved in the same project as you. Governor's schools are relatively uncommon across the nation, so the understanding and appreciation of fellow governor's school laborers and devotees is welcoming and refreshing.

The National Conference of Governor's Schools (NCoGS) is a national organization committed to establishing, supporting, and enriching summer residential governor's school programs. Its members are individuals involved in maintaining governor's school programs across the country, including administrators, statewide coordinators, faculty and staff members, alumni, parents, and other friends of state-sponsored summer residential enrichment programs for gifted and talented youth.
