Talent Search

Support in kindLimited number available

A federally funded programme of academic advising, help with college and financial aid applications, and career guidance for students in grades six through twelve who are low income or would be the first in their family to finish a degree. Run by local projects.

Services rather than money: academic advising, help with college and financial aid applications, and career guidance. The regulation states no dollar value to a participant.
