Institute for Educational Advancement

The Institute for Educational Advancement (IEA), founded in 1999, is an educational foundation based in Pasadena, California, that supports gifted students in middle school and high school. It is known for its annual scholarships for high school students, and supports summer programs for students across the United States, including teacher training.

Programs
Starting in 2002, IEA has offered a competitive scholarship for gifted middle school students, covering the cost of any four-year high school they choose to attend. This program supported five students per year in 2002, and 15 students by 2012; it is now called the Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship.

They run a few in-person programs: in the Pasadena School District, they offer college preparation and enrichment classes; and run a residential summer camp for middle school students.
