It is not  widely  known,  but  Mensa  sponsors  various  scholarships  and
supports the Mensa Educational Research Foundation which does research into
the problems and educational needs of gifted  children.  There  is  also  a
national  Gifted  Children  Special Interest Group which acts as a clearing
house for relevant information.
