Your Future, Our Focus

We’ll help prepare you for college at no cost to you.

Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a federal program designed to support students to complete their high school diploma and continue their postsecondary education in college or vocational technical schools. The program provides academic, career and financial counseling to participants. Our advisors are specialized to support the application process for financial aid and college. To qualify, students must either meet low income guidelines or be a first-generation college student. This program is offered free of charge to participants. For a list of the schools we serve, please see the Resources section.
