The St. Olaf Educational Talent Search (ETS) TRIO program has been funded through 2008 by the U.S. Department of Education. The grant proposal ranked in the top 10 percent nationally out of 600 applications. It will be worth approximately $1,500,000 over the five-year period. St. Olaf ETS is designated to provide college preparatory outreach work for 800 low income, high potential students in grades 6-12 who will be first generation college students. Since the program was originally funded in 1991, more than 25 ETS participants have matriculated at St. Olaf College and at least 80 percent have enrolled in other post-secondary institutions.
