Educational Talent Search is an educational outreach program designed to provide students with the information and assistance necessary to have a realistic opportunity to select, enter and complete a degree at a college of their choice. ETS has served Northeast Texas students in grades 7-12 since 1991, providing academic advising, tutoring, essay writing workshops, ACT/SAT preparation workshops, Parent Nights, financial aid workshops, scholarship searches, college admissions information, college tours, career exploration, cultural enrichment trip and more.
Talent Search serves 800 students in 27 high schools and six middle schools in Lamar, Fannin, Hunt, Delta, Hopkins, Franklin, Titus and Red River counties. Talent Search helps students who have the ability, desire and motivation to continue their education after high school.
ETS students can begin their membership as early as the 7th grade. Until their graduation from high school, participants are continuously involved in a variety of educational enrichment activities.
If you are interested in participating in Talent Search, complete the application and take it to your school counselor for their comments and signature. All information is kept confidential, but must be provided in order for you to be accepted, especially Social Security number and income information.
