The Educational Talent Search Programs at UT Arlington provide free college, career and financial aid information to over 1,000 junior high and high school students each year. Talent Search identifies and selects students who demonstrate the potential for post-secondary enrollment and provides them with the motivation and support to enroll in a program of post-secondary education (college, university, technical or vocational school) after high school graduation.
CONGRATULATIONS to Ms. Kaia Brooks on winning a $250.00 scholarship to the college of her choice, a TI 84 calculator and a Subway gift card for attending this year’s YES Summit on Saturday, October 6, 2018. Ms. Brooks is a senior at Juan Seguin High School.
