Seventy thousands gifted students begin their gifted program offered by the government every year, however some students could not finish one-year program due to many personal and societal reasons. Therefore an attempt was made to investigate the factors related to this phenomena with five drop -out gifted students and a teacher who was involved in the gifted program. The results of the study suggested that long-term travel, pressure of term projects, students' perfection tendency were the personal factors and transportation inconvenience was a social factor. Most of the students who dropped out the gifted program revealed a tendancy to lose their interests in gifted education in general.
