TRIO Talent Search (TS) is an outreach program designed to help students with significant financial barriers to aspire, prepare for, and enroll in the college of their choice. TRIO TS students generally come from families in which neither parent had the opportunity to receive a 4 year college degree.
The program provides academic, career, and financial counseling to its participants and encourages them to graduate from high school and continue on to post-secondary education. TRIO Talent Search also serves students who dropped out of high school by encouraging them to reenter the educational system and complete their education.
