Educational Talent Search
Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a federally funded program designed to assist economically and educationally disadvantaged students, ages twelve to twenty-seven, in continuing their education through secondary schools and in enrolling at postsecondary institutions. Most students are limited income, first generation and college bound, and are in need of assistance to expand their educational opportunities.
Boise State University's ETS program provides services for 1400 students, 7th through 12th graders at 19 schools in Ada, Canyon, and Owyhee counties. The schools are Borah High, Capital High, Mt. Cove High, Fort Boise Middle High, Fairmont Jr. High, South Junior High, Caldwell High, Homedale High, Horseshoe Bend Senior High, Idaho City High, Melba Junior and Senior High, Nampa, Parma Middle and Senior High, Skyview High, Vallivue High, and Wilder Middle and Senior High Schools.
The staff provide services at each school on a weekly basis. Students receive information to help them become successful in school, graduate and enroll in postsecondary education. Instruction and information include effective study habits, goal setting, enrolling in college-bound classes, career information and interest testing, college admissions, scholarships and financial aid process.
Students are given the opportunity to attend the Boise College and Career Fairs, career workshops, college visits,TRiO National Day of Service, and the Hispanic Youth Symposium. As juniors and seniors, students have the opportunity to visit out-of-state colleges and universities as well.
