Upward Bound/Paris Junior College Education Talent Search Program
Educational Talent Search (ETS) is an educational outreach program designed to identify qualified youths with potential for education at the post-secondary level and to encourage such youths to complete secondary school and to undertake a program of post-secondary education.
Educational Talent Search is 100 percent federally funded by the U.S. Department of Education; therefore, services are provided at NO COST to the student. General eligibility requirements include meeting income guidelines and/or being the first in the family to graduate with a four year degree. Selected other students are also encouraged to apply.

Our primary goal, is to provide a nurturing environment, is to make certain that each and every student receives the proper academic and social skills training and development necessary to succeed in high school and college.
