  • The Federal TRIO Programs are outreach services designed
    to identify and provide services for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 1965, as part of the Higher Education Act, TRIO created Talent Search to help low-income high-school students be the first generation in their families to attend college and attain a Bachelor’s degree. With the goal of bridging the gap for our students, Brooklyn College’s Talent Search supports them by providing:

    • Regents and SAT Prep Tutoring,
    • Academic, Career, and Financial Counseling
    • College Readiness Workshops
    • Learning and Study Strategies Assessments
    • Assistance with College Enrollment Applications
    • Single-day College Trips and Overnight College Tours
    • Summer Enrichment Activities…and more

    OUR VISION IS A SOCIETY WHERE ALL WHO ASPIRE TO LEARN, WILL OBTAIN THE HIGHEST EDUCATION ACHIEVABLE!
