Educational Talent Search Program

The Federal TRiO Programs were designed to identify and provide services for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 1965, as part of the Higher Education Act, TRiO created Educational Talent Search to help disadvantaged or low-income students be the first generation in their families to attend college and attain a bachelor's degree.

In 2016, the Brooklyn College Educational Talent Search Program began a five-year grant to serve five target high schools in Brooklyn. Our target schools are the Academy for College Preparation and Career Exploration, Brooklyn Generation School, Cultural Academy for the Arts and Sciences, Brooklyn Collegiate, and George Westinghouse High School. We work closely with school administration, guidance counselors, and college advisers to provide pre-college counseling to students in grades 9–12 with the goal of bridging the gap for our students.

The Brooklyn College Educational Talent Search Program worked with 760 high school students in the 2018–19 academic year. Our goal is to increase the number of first-generation and disadvantaged youth who successfully complete high school, enroll in college, and achieve post secondary success. The program supports TRiO students by providing the following services:

Regents and SAT Prep tutoring
Academic, career, and financial counseling
College readiness workshops
Learning and study strategy assessments
Assistance with college enrollment applications
Single-day college trips and overnight college tours
Summer enrichment activities
Mentoring
And more

Homework Help Mondays

TRIO Educational Talent Search is introducing Homework Help Mondays!!!

Starting on March 2nd, students can bring their homework assignments for TRiO tutors to assist them with. We are dedicating every Monday, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm until June 8th, to help students stay on track with their homework. There is no formal sign-up process for this service; whenever students need help with their homework, they just need to come (to Brooklyn College Campus, Ingersoll 1428) during the designated times.

Looking forward to working with you!
