Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award

The National Association for Gifted Children, through its affiliate, the New Hampshire Association for Gifted Education is offering gifted children in New Hampshire the opportunity to be named the Nicholas Green Distinguished Student.

Nicholas was a delightful, precocious child, who, at the age of five, was touring Europe with his parents and younger sister. While in Italy bandits attacked his family's car and shot and killed Nicholas.

His death became noticed internationally because his parents contributed his organs to Italians in need of organ transplants. To honor Nicholas, his parents have established this award.

In memory of Nicholas, NAGC and NHAGE are seeking an outstanding student who is currently in grades 3 through 6. The award includes a $500.00 United States Savings Bond and a Certificate of Excellence.

The winner and his/her parents will be invited to the New England Conference on Gifted and Talented Education in October of this year, to formally receive the award before hundreds of teachers, administrators and other professionals.
