What does Educational Talent Search do?

For over 40 years, Educational Talent Search has proudly served limited income NH youth. ETS advisors visit schools on a weekly or biweekly schedule, providing career, college and financial aid information and academic advising to students. Specifically, ETS:

  • Provides students with skills and encouragement to graduate from high school
  • Provides students and parents with the preparation and support needed to enroll in postsecondary education
  • Encourages rigorous academic preparation
  • Promotes education success for middle and high school students
