The UC Davis Redwood SEED Scholars Program has applications open for its third cohort of students!

The Redwood SEED Scholars Program is a US Department of Education federally funded, inclusive college program for students with intellectual disabilities. Scholars are welcomed to UC Davis as full-time non-degree students, and supported with peer mentors in academics, social inclusion, health and wellness, residential living and employment.

Redwood Seed Scholars take part in paid and unpaid internships both on and off campus with the goal of competitive, integrated employment. They live alongside other UC Davis students in on-campus housing and participate in campus clubs and organizations.

You must be a California resident, have a documented intellectual disability and between the ages of 18-23 to apply. Funding is available through the Department of Rehabilitation and the Regional Center system.

Amazing!

Join trailblazer and disability activist Judy Heumann, who is considered the mother of the disability rights movement, in a conversation about her books Being Heumann and Rolling Warrior. Judy’s bravery, persistence, and signature rebellious streak speaks to every person fighting to belong and fighting for social justice. In this young readers’ edition of her acclaimed memoir, Being Heumann, Judy shares her journey of battling for equal access in an unequal world—from fighting to attend grade school after being described as a “fire hazard” because of her wheelchair, to suing the New York City school system for denying her a teacher’s license because of her disability. Learn about Judy and her work and have an opportunity to hear questions from Girl Scouts and answers from Judy Heumann.

Save for the date for Judy Heumann in Conversation with PBS Books on Tuesday, July 26, 2022 5pm ET | 2pm PT.
