The most popular and influential services offered are visits to colleges and universities in the area. Nearly seven hundred junior and senior high school students have the chance to visit colleges and universities each year and meet with college students and support service personnel to get a first-hand feeling for what college life is all about. Talent Search also works with guidance counselors to prepare students for the SAT test and other college entrance examinations. The most successful candidates demonstrate interest, motivation, and the capability to be productive and successful in an academic environment. The University of Maryland Talent Search program has a staff of advisors and tutors who work in the schools with individuals on a one to one basis or in groups to improve their chances of success.
