The pilot was receiving dual instruction. During the landing roll out with a right crosswind the airplane started veering to the right. The flight instructor took control just as a wind gust struck the right side of the airplane, which resulted in the left wingtip striking the runway. The flight instructor stated full opposite control was insufficient to prevent to right wing from rising and the left wingtip from scraping the runway. Examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the left aileron.
