SEEDS alumni, we’d love your help!

This spring, our College Scholars seniors will explore topics they care about, develop ideas for a new product, business, or organization, and pitch their projects at the CSP Senior Conference in May.

We’re looking for alumni with entrepreneurship and startup experience to lead workshops, mentor student teams, or serve as panelists and judges.

Have experience in marketing, budgeting, leadership, product development, project management, or another relevant area? We’d love to hear from you.

Help our next generation of leaders turn their ideas into action!

No one builds a future alone.

For 35 years, SEEDS has surrounded students with people who believe in their potential: mentors and educators, fellow Scholars and alumni, and dedicated supporters who show up along the way.

Your support helps provide the college tours, application workshops, mentorship, guidance, and encouragement that remind a student:

We believe in your future, and we’re here to help you reach it.

As we celebrate 35 years of opening doors, help us build a community that will be there for the next generation of SEEDS students.

Invest in the next 35. Give today at seedsaccess.org/donate or follow the link in bio to donate.

This month marks the beginning of SEEDS’ 35th anniversary year — thirty-five years of opening doors for high-achieving students from communities that too often go overlooked.

Over the coming months, we’ll be looking back at the impact of that work: the scholars, schools, supporters, educators, and leaders who built SEEDS into what it is today, told through profiles, essays, and testimonials from alumni across all thirty-five years. We’ll also be gathering — with special events and celebrations throughout the year that bring our community together in new ways.

Most of all, this is a year to look forward, and to build the foundation for the next thirty-five.

The school year is underway, and SEEDS students are already looking ahead.

As college and independent school applications approach, our Scholars are making plans for where they want to go and what it will take to get there. This fall, SEEDS is there alongside them with the skills, guidance, resources, and support they need to move forward.

For 35 years, that support has opened doors through:

• 1:1 college application support
• College tours across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic
• An Independent School Fair with 80+ school representatives
• Financial aid workshops
• Mentorship, guidance, and campus visits

These opportunities can be the difference between wondering “Could I?” and knowing “I can.”

As we celebrate 35 years of opening doors, help us build a future full of possibility for the next generation of SEEDS students.

Another successful SEEDS Independent School Fair is in the books!

On Saturday, Sept 12, 2026, 77 schools from 12 states gathered at Newark Academy to meet with our SEEDS Scholars and Young Scholars. The independent school fair provides our scholars incredible access to the finest boarding and day schools across the country. We’re especially thankful for the admissions teams at Cate School Stevenson School Thacher The Webb Schools Blair Academy Phillips Exeter Academy Middlesex School Newark Academy, Far Brook School and Fay School, Southborough, MA for participating in panels and offering our families insights into campus life and the admissions process.

Now, the journey to an independent school gets real. We can’t wait to see it unfold!
