HURST, Texas - PennZone -- American Mensa and the Davidson Institute have announced a collaboration that expands access to Mensa membership opportunities for Davidson Young Scholars.

Through this collaboration, students participating in the Davidson Young Scholars program — approximately 5,000 youth ages 5–18 — will have streamlined access to American Mensa membership opportunities. Young Scholars already meet cognitive benchmarks exceeding Mensa's top 2% qualification standard.

As part of this collaboration, American Mensa will provide:

• A dedicated discount code waiving the $49 Prior Evidence Review fee
• Expedited application processing
• Cross-promoted public youth programming opportunities

Promotion of the collaboration will occur in coordination with the Davidson Institute and will be shared directly with Davidson Young Scholars families through existing communications and collaboration resources.
