Program Overview

TRIO Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a federally funded program that identifies and assists individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who have the potential to succeed in higher education. The program provides academic, career, and financial counseling to its participants and encourages them to graduate from high school and continue on to and complete their postsecondary education.


UAA previously hosted an ETS program, and after 5 years without it we now have it back! ETS will be serving 500 students at West High School, Bartlett High School, and Bettye Davis East High School. Anyone interested in applying should complete an application as soon as possible by filling one out online, or printing a PDF version that can be turned in to the student's counselor.


We look forward to working with you!


Total students to be served: 500

Bettye Davis East High: 250 students

WEST HIGH: 125 students

BARTLETT HIGH: 125 students
