All About ETS!
"ETS WELL WORTH IT"
What is Educational Talent Search?
Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a federally funded TRiO program designed to assist middle school/high school students and high school dropouts with the necessary understanding, knowledge, skills, and self-esteem to continue in and graduate from high school. ETS also helps students that have been traditionally underrepresented to explore training and educational options, and enroll in post secondary institutions.
