TRiO Talent Search Works!

Talent Search began in 1965 as one of the Federal TRiO programs. Talent Search identifies and assists individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds with the potential to succeed in higher education. All participants are advised to enroll in the post-secondary institution of their choice. The program is designed to motivate and support students by offering an array of educational opportunities. The success of students impacts not only their families, but the community as a whole. The goal is to impact the student and instill the confidence needed to succeed where ever their endeavors take them.
