History

We are proud to be the longest running Talent Search in Macon, Georgia.  Our organization has been in existence since September 1, 1978.  Our staff is committed to working with students from grades 6-12 who have college potential but are not aware of academic and career opportunities that are available to them beyond high school.  Through our excellent educational guidance services, we are able to promote high school graduation and enrollment into some form of postsecondary institution.  We offer SAT, PSAT, and ACT training.  We also offer training with the Georgia High School Graduation Test.  And, we pay for our students to take the SAT and ACT.  In addition, our organization will pay up to four college application fees for high school seniors.  We assist students  with creating academic resumes and completing financial aid forms.  Workshops on study skills, time management and applying for college is offered throughout each academic year.  Middle grades students have access to our after school tutorial component named Project Climb.  We also sponsor trips to college fairs, college campuses throughout the Southern states, and Math and Science summer programs offered at various college campuses throughout the Southeast.  Because Alpha Phi Alpha Educational Talent Search is federally funded, all services we provide to the students are free.  The staff at Alpha Phi Alpha Educational Talent Search strive to continue with our legacy of excellence in the area of preparing our youth for postsecondary education.
