Educational Talent Search
About the Program
The Educational Talent Search (ETS) program at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) has been helping low-income and potential first-generation students successfully graduate from secondary school and enroll in post-secondary education since 2006. Serving 600 students in Ventura County in nine local middle and high schools, ETS seeks to provide students with academic/career/social workshops, college tours, cultural events as well as scholarship and financial aid assistance.
The following goals guide the work of the ETS staff:
- Identify, recruit and select participants who have the potential to succeed in completing high school or GED programs, as well as post-secondary education
- Familiarize participants with the college selection, admissions and financial aid application processes
- Assess and guide participants’ interests in professional careers
- Teach participants to use state-of-the-art technology to explore careers and colleges, and to improve their school performance
- Provide experiences that will enhance participants’ intellectual, cultural, social and personal development
- Motivate participants to maximize their academic and personal potential
Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a free, federally-funded TRIO grant program housed at California State University Channel Islands. Grant funds are received through the U.S. Department of Education.
