TRIO Talent Search

Talent Search is a federally funded program designed to assist individuals in preparing for college and obtaining admissions to a college of their choice. The program provides counseling, financial aid information, and other information essential to post-secondary enrollment.

Talent Search participants receive:

• Support in completing high school (study skills, test-taking and financial aid workshops)
• College and Career Information
• College Entrance Examination Procedures
• Assistance in applying for admission to college or other post-secondary institutions
• Assistance and information in applying for scholarships and other federal and state financial aid

Post-secondary visits are coordinated for several universities and/or colleges each year. The visits include activities such as campus tours, brochures on admissions and financial aid from each school visited, student life and academic programs.
