About Educational Talent Search
| What is Educational Talent Search? |
- The purpose of the Educational Talent Search is to
assist first-generation and/or economically disadvantaged
students to continue in and graduate from secondary
school and to enroll in a postsecondary educational
program. The Southeastern Louisiana University Talent
Search Program serves students in selected schools grades
6 through 12 in Livingston, Tangipahoa, and Washington
Parishes.
- The program addresses academic and social needs of
the junior high and high school students by offering
academic tutoring and non-academic services, (i.e.,
personal and career counseling, information on available
financial aid and ACT/SAT testing).

| Who Should Apply? |
- Students whose family income meets federal guidelines
for low income;
- Students whose parents were not graduated from a
college or university;
- Students who do not meet either or both of the above
criteria may still be eligible for participation in the
program based on their individual interests, needs,
abilities to benefit from the program, and availability
of positions in the program.
