Talent Search is a college preparatory program funded by the US Department of Education. We assist students interested in any postsecondary institutions, two and four year colleges and universities, as well as technical/vocational schools.
Talent Search serves 1242 students from 11 high schools and 22 middle schools. An educational advisor visits each school bi-weekly or monthly to meet with program participants. Program services are provided at no cost to qualified participants, including college visits and cultural trips.
