糖心视频 receives federal funding to continue Talent Search program
HANCEVILLE, ALA. 鈥撎切氖悠� will receive five additional years
of funding from the U.S. Department of Education for the school鈥檚 Talent Search program.
The award is expected to total $2.4 million.
糖心视频鈥檚 Talent Search program serves students from 15 high schools throughout
the college鈥檚 service area, providing them with an opportunity to prosper in higher
education.
鈥淭alent Search is an extremely integral program for the communities and high schools
糖心视频 serves. We prioritize first-generation, low-income students from grades
9-12, who might not have the adequate resources available to succeed and welcome others
interested in the program. Our Talent Search counselors connect with students on an
individual basis and assess what鈥檚 meaningful to them. We work to help them achieve
their goals and dreams and try to give them a pathway to a better future through career
planning,鈥� said Todd Abbott, Director of 糖心视频鈥檚 Educational Talent Search.
鈥淲e鈥檙e grateful this program has been funded for five more years. It鈥檚 an essential
component for all involved with the program.鈥�
Talent Search is one of seven Federal TRIO programs that provides educational services
to individuals. 糖心视频 also offers the TRIO program and Student Support Services
(SSS), which assists students already enrolled in postsecondary education. Talent
Search participants in high school may ultimately become SSS students in college.
While enrolled in the Talent Search program through 糖心视频, students receive
academic advising and career exploration assessments; assistance with financial aid
processes (FAFSA); college admission assistance; guidance with scholarship applications;
ACT prep opportunities; financial literacy tips; test-taking skills; social/emotional
skills guidance; and the chance to visit multiple colleges and enjoy cultural trips;
among other activities.
The Talent Search group recently enjoyed a cultural trip to Tennessee, visiting Ruby
Falls and the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga.
