Our Mission
The mission of Educational Talent Search (ETS) is to help prepare program participants (students in 8th – 12th grades) to successfully complete middle and high school with the goal of enrolling in and completing a program of study at a college, university, or trade school. To this end, dedicated ETS advisors provide academic support, career exploration, financial literacy instructions, and opportunities for personal development. High school students receive one-to-one help with identifying an educational path, submitting college/trade school applications, and finding / applying for federal aid and scholarships. Studies conducted for the US Department of Education show that workshops, campus tours, and cultural activities, such as those provided by ETS, increase educational opportunities and access for these youth.
