Academic Talent Search (ATS) is one of the Federal Trio Programs funded 100% by the Department of Education. Located in the same office at JWCC's Student Support Services, the program is dedicated to assisting students in identifying and maintaining healthy academic habits from elementary through high school. Our goal is to ensure that students have access to the tools and resources available to be successful in higher education. We assist students in pursuit of various programs of study, including vocational & trade schools, business schools, two & four year colleges, and universities.
