Educational Talent Search is an early intervention educational opportunity program
for 7-12 grade students. Our goal is to help prepare your student to go to college
and complete a degree. We emphasize personal and career development, financial literacy,
academic skills, and ACT readiness. Our college preparatory workshops prepare your
student for the rigors of higher education. Campus visits, academic monitoring, and
guidance with college and financial aid applications serve the needs of both you and
your student. We also host summer enrichment and campus events so your student can
become familiar with our campus and our staff.
Focus Areas:
- Personal and Career Development
- Weekly sessions during school hours to assess goal setting, self-esteem, decision making, and career interests.
- Financial Literacy
- Information on scholarships, grants, loans, and work study programs, along with individual assistance with paperwork.
- Academic Skills
- Promote skills necessary for successfully entering college and completing a bachelor’s degree.
- ACT Readiness
