Abstract :The fact that gifted education programs have certain standards, include evaluation, and are based on theoretical foundations ensure that these programs are real programs. Therefore, it is necessary to test the effectiveness of the programs put forward for gifted education and to determine their social validity. The Education Program for Gifted Bridge with University (EPGBU), developed by Tortop (2013), is a university-based program aimed at raising gifted students in the academic field. This research is in a descriptive survey model, and the characteristics of gifted students studying at the Science and Art Center in Turkey in the components of the EPGBU model were analyzed with the Structural Equation Model (SEM). EPGBU model values; χ2=4.328, df=5, p=.000; RMSEA, 0.000; χ2/df=,866; NFI=.951; CFI=.50; GFI=0.983; PCLOSE= .000 was found. Accordingly, it is seen that the EPGBU model is a fit model.
