If these individuals knew how to take a stand without alienating those around them they would do it. This program is designed to help those students do just that. Educational Talent Search at St. Scholastica serves 600 students in 10 area schools, including the eight schools Hillier will address. Its purpose is to build students' self-confidence by supporting the development of academic experiences, providing personal advice, and heightening cultural awareness. The program provides information, services, and support designed to promote educational opportunities.
All services are free to eligible students.
Educational Talent Search is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Its mission is to identify and serve individuals with the ability for education beyond high school, to encourage these students to complete high school, and to assist them in applying for and entering into post-secondary education. It encourages persons who have not completed education, but who have the ability to do so, to re-enter educational programs. The program also publicizes the availability of student financial assistance.
