                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 22, 2015

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of Educational Talent Search (ETS) in Durham, New 
Hampshire. I am pleased to join with the University of New Hampshire in 
recognizing this great milestone for ETS and its supporters.
   This is a great achievement for both ETS and the University that 
supports it, and speaks highly to the outstanding services and guidance 
the program has offered to first-generation college students of the 
communities they serve. For the past 50 years, Educational Talent 
Search has been a leader in helping students with academic advising, 
postsecondary placement, academic preparation and career exploration.
   Through the leadership of ETS, thirty-one middle schools and high 
schools throughout New Hampshire are being provided academic advising, 
career planning, and financial aid and financial literacy information, 
to better increase educational opportunities for those youth it 
supports. ETS has an impressive record of having 100% of the students 
it works with graduate from high school, and helping 86% of those 
students go on to attend college.
   I am proud to join with my fellow Granite Staters in recognizing the 
50th anniversary of the Educational Talent Search, and wish them all 
the best in their future years.
