The TRIO Educational Talent Search (ETS) program is required to track the number of TRIO ETS students who advance to the next grade level at the end of each academic year, as well as the rates of graduation among the 12th graders we serve. This information is used to calculate the overall rates of advancement and graduation that we report to the U.S. Department of Education.  Individual student data will not be disclosed.

Some schools require written permission from a parent or guardian each school year in order to release this information to our program.  If your son or daughter attends a school that is not part of Grand Rapids Public Schools, Wyoming Public Schools, or Godwin Heights Public Schools, you will have to complete this form each school year in order for your son/daughter to remain in the program.
