ST. OLAF TRIO EDUCATIONAL TALENT SEARCH (ETS) is a college preparatory program funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s TRIO Programs with St. Olaf College sponsorship. The goal of ETS is to increase the likelihood that participants complete high school and gain admission to postsecondary programs, learn about financial aid, and re-enter secondary and postsecondary educational programs.

ETS staff work in cooperation with school counselors and teachers to identify qualified youth who have potential for educational success at the postsecondary level. St. Olaf ETS is an early intervention program that annually serves 700 participants from the following target schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul:

• St. Paul Humboldt Secondary School
• Minneapolis Washburn High School
• Minneapolis Northeast Middle School
• Community of Peace Academy
