Welcome to Talent Search!

This TRIO program is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education and housed at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Alabama. The Talent Search program assists individuals who have the potential to succeed in higher education. The program provides academic, career, and financial counseling to its participants and encourages them to graduate from high school and continue on to and complete their postsecondary education. Talent Search also encourages persons who have not completed education programs at the secondary or postsecondary level to enter or reenter and complete postsecondary education. The goal of Talent Search is to increase the number of youth from disadvantaged backgrounds who complete high school and enroll in and complete their postsecondary education. We serve students in grades 6-12 in fifteen schools in North/Central Alabama.
