Educational Talent Search
Focused on the future — turning dreamers into achievers through education, guidance and support. Every service is free.
What It Is
The Educational Talent Search Project is a federally funded program of the United States Department of Education, operated here by the Epsilon Beta Lambda Foundation and staffed full time. All services are free.
ETS provides educational guidance to individuals across five Middle Georgia counties, helping them graduate from secondary school and enroll in a post-secondary school. It serves people aged eleven to twenty-seven with the potential to succeed in a college, university or vocational setting.
What It Does
- Guided college tours, and conference attendance.
- Sitting down with a student to actually complete an application, rather than handing over a link and wishing them well.
- Paying college application fees.
- Paying SAT and ACT testing costs.
- The other charges that quietly decide who applies and who does not.
How to Join
Applications can be obtained from an ETS Outreach Counselor or from a school guidance counselor. Others who are interested may be referred by a human service agency, or may contact the ETS office directly.
