Minority Access' Educational Talent Search (ETS) Program
The Minority Access Educational Talent Search (ETS) Program is administered by Minority Access and funded by the US Department of Education. ETS is a college readiness program that serves students - grades 6TH thru 12TH - at targeted schools in Prince George's County, Maryland - who desire and have potential for success in post-secondary education. ETS compliments the services of our school partners and their guidance departments in college-preparatory education for promising students.
The mission of ETS at Minority Access, Inc. is to increase the likelihood that participants (1) become highly competitive high school graduates and (2) enroll and graduate from an institution of higher education: college, university, or trade school.
Our approach engages students in professional, relevant, and consistent academic coaching activities, financial aid and pre-college workshops, field trips, college visits, and scheduled seminar activities. As a result of program services, ETS will prepare students to take charge of their academic achievement, giving them an increased chance for an enjoyable life-long career and a more satisfying quality of life
ETS expects participants to enroll in a rigorous academic program at their respective schools and complete a pre-college curriculum course of study in high school. Following high school graduation, the program expects students to enroll in a post-secondary institution.
