Eligibility
The federal government mandates that two-thirds of the students served by Educational Talent Search (ETS) must be low-income and first generation. Participants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents or provide evidence from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of their intent to become permanent residents.
