SEEDS is an academic enrichment and leadership development program aimed at eliminating social and economic barriers for high-achieving, low-income youth. SEEDS seeks to prepare qualified students for placement at competitive day and boarding schools and to empower students to live lives of leadership, professional accomplishment, and service to the community.

Our Scholars Program is open to eligible seventh grade students. Students take classes on Saturdays and over the summer and receive placement assistance for ninth grade. The duration of this program is 14 months. The Lawrenceville School hosts the “boarding experience” portion of the program from July 2 to August 4, 2007.

Our Young Scholars Program is open to eligible fourth grade students. Students take classes on Saturdays and over the summer and receive placement assistance for seventh grade. The duration of this program is 24 months.

Our Alumni Program is for students who have completed the SEEDS program and are now in secondary school, college, graduate school and/or pursuing careers.
