TRiO-eligible students should apply now
Chemeketa Community College’s TRiO Talent Search program is now accepting new applicants.
The program is designed to provide a path for middle and high school students into higher education through college visits and time with mentors and staff who assist students in applying for college scholarships and financial aid. The program is funded through a federal grant and assists low income-youths, attending grant schools, whose parents have not attained a four-year degree. Students with other backgrounds are considered based on rural isolation.
Students from North Salem, McKay, Gervais and Santiam high schools, and Parrish, Houck, Stephens, Waldo, Gervais and Mill City Middle Schools are eligible to apply.
