Who we are:

Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a federally-funded program  designed to help underrepresented youth who are low-income, and first in their family to attend and graduate from college.  In partnership with our schools, we work with 600 students in the Ogden School District each year.  All students within our target schools in grades 7-12 are welcome to apply. Although the ETS program is base locally at Weber State University, we help students who are interested in going to any college or university.

Student Profile: To be part of this program you must maintain a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA while enrolled in the program and have the desire to pursue a post-secondary education.

 Program Services:
