TRIO Talent Search

alt

LC State's TRIO's Educational Talent Search (ETS) program helps make college possible for students whose families are on a limited income and whose parents didn't graduate with a four-year college degree. We serve students in grades 6-12, and individuals up to age 27 who are seeking a GED. 

TRIO ETS is 100% federally funded. Nationwide, over 387,600 individuals are enrolled in 471 ETS programs. Our Clearwater Valley ETS outreach serves schools in Timberline, Orofino, Kooskia, Grangeville, and Kamiah, Idaho.
