Educational Talent Search (ETS, often referred to as Talent Search) is one of 8 TRIO programs that were authorized by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 in response to President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty (source: www.ed.gov/HEP/trio). Over 1,200 colleges, universities, community colleges and agencies now offer TRiO Programs in America. There are more than 475 ETS programs in the U.S. serving more than 389,000 students. Federal TRiO Programs provide outreach and support programs to help low-income, first-generation college students progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs. The ETS program identifies and assists individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who have the potential to succeed in higher education. The program provides academic, career, and financial counseling to its participants and encourages them to graduate from high school and continue on to the postsecondary school of their choice. ETS also serves individuals who have not completed a high school diploma by encouraging them to reenter the educational system and complete their education. The goal of ETS is to increase the number of youth from disadvantaged backgrounds who complete high school and enroll in the postsecondary education institution of their choice.
