Overview of TRiO Talent Search Program

TRiO Talent Search Program (TSP) is a federally funded post-secondary outreach program designed to motivate 850 middle school and high school students to excel in school while encouraging their pursuit at a post-secondary education. Our goal is to help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers and become leaders in the pursuit of higher education and in their future careers.

Students accepted into the TSP will join a community where they will be supported and encouraged to succeed personally and academically through the program’s efforts of academic, career and college supports until high school graduation.
