ETS Membership Application

Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a free college and career readiness program that helps students in grades 6–12 prepare for high school graduation and post-secondary education. ETS provides year-round services and opportunities, allowing participants to remain active in the program until they enroll in a college, university, technical school, or other post-secondary program. As a federally funded TRIO Programs initiative, ETS is dedicated to increasing educational opportunities for students who may face barriers to higher education. Federal guidelines require that at least two-thirds of ETS participants qualify as low-income and/or potential first-generation college students, meaning neither parent has earned a four-year college degree.Through academic support, college and career exploration, financial aid guidance, campus visits, leadership development, and educational enrichment activities, ETS empowers students to achieve their educational goals and build a successful future.
