TRiO Educational Talent Search Program
Educational Talent Search
ETS is an academic outreach program sponsored by Malcolm X College and funded through the U.S. Department of Education. It is designed to identify and select qualified youth who, with support, enroll in a post secondary institution and select careers. The program serves predominately low-income, potential first generation college students.
Our program offers tutoring, standardized test preparation, strategies to improve study skills, time management and assistance with financial aid and college applications. We arrange for our high school students to attend college tours and offer a summer camp for our middle school students. All program services are free.

- Age 11 through 27
- At a low income family level
- Potentially a first generation college student
- U.S. Citizen or permanent resident
