TRiO Educational Talent Search

The TRIO Educational Talent Search Program at Napa Valley College is a federally funded pre-college TRIO program that's designed to provide academic support to students in grades 6-12th. Our goal is to support, prepare and encourage students to graduate high school and attend a college or university.
