Educational Talent Search

The Educational Talent Search Program was developed through the Higher Education Act of 1965. The Program identifies low-income and first-generation college students to provide them with encouragement, support and assistance.

The mission of Talent Search is, specifically, to identify and encourage eligible youth in grades six through twelve, and out-of-school youth up to the age of 27, to finish high school and enroll in post-secondary education.

Services include small group tutoring, academic and personal counseling, college campus tours, test taking, time management skills training and counseling, workplace tours and job shadowing opportunities.

The program serves over one thousand students per year.We accomplish these objectives by delivering supplemental academic and enrichment activities, as well as resources for both participants and parents.
