USC TRiO EDUCATIONAL TALENT SEARCH
Stop by the College Center to ask about USC Trio and their services. There is a small cubicle located towards the back of the College Center specifically for USC Trio. Ask to speak with any of the USC Trio representatives. Fight on!
Launched at USC in fall 1991, Educational Talent Search provides academic, career and financial counseling to encourage students to graduate from high school and continue on to post-secondary education. Talent Search also provides academic opportunities for youths who are at risk by encouraging them to reengage with the educational system, complete their high school education and continue on to higher education.
The federally funded TRiO programs were created to motivate and support low-income and first-generation, minority students in progressing through the academic pipeline from middle school through college. USC TRiO includes three Upward Bound programs, one Upward Bound Math-Science program and two Educational Talent Search programs.
USC also is home to another federal TRiO program, the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, which assists undergraduates in preparing for and enrolling in graduate studies at the doctoral level.
