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.
Founded in 1965, the Talent Search program identifies and assists individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who have the potential to succeed in higher education. Our services include:
