As we reflect on our school year, serving 1,200 TRIO eligible ETS students in grades 6 through 12 across NH: students of modest income, and students who will be the first in their families to go to college, we are proud of every single one of you!

We are especially proud of our 147 TRIO ETS seniors that are going onto college this year. We can’t wait to see what you all do, but no matter what, we will always be proud of you.

We are thrilled to share the success of UNH TRIO Educational Talent Search (ETS) 2nd Annual Launch Into College" event at the University of New Hampshire! 🎉

On April 16th, 55 juniors from our 16 high schools across NH had an incredible opportunity to get a head start on their college journey. They participated in a college fair, attended insightful college workshops, explored a variety of college majors and careers at our majors & college resources expo, and gained valuable insights to prepare for the college process in their senior year.

A huge thank you to all our partners at UNH and our outside partners who made our Inaugural ETS "Launch Into College" possible! Your support and collaboration have been invaluable in empowering these students to take the next steps towards their futures. Thank you to University of New Hampshire for hosting us!
