Dear students and families,
We want to let you know about some important changes to the Talent Search program. The U.S. Department of Education has decided not to continue the funding that supports Talent Search. This decision was not made by our team, your school, or SDSU. We are proud of our students' successes through Talent Search, which has operated successfully since 1993, and we are appealing their decision to end the program. While we are looking for alternative solutions, our online resources including our Student Resource Website (this page) and Instagram account will remain updated and under a different name. 

You might see a few of our former staff on your campuses because they have transitioned to a new job. This has been a difficult time for our Talent Search Team, but we are doing our best to close out the program while looking for alternatives to keep supporting you.

IMPORTANT: If you have attended Talent Search meetings in the past four years, starting Monday, October 13, 2025, you can pick up a certificate of participation from your school’s main office. You can use it for your college applications. If you are in the 12th grade, you will also receive a printed Student Handbook.
