Learning about careers is critical for college-bound students. Knowledge of professional pathways--and what it takes to get there--sets scholars up for success. College students who have a career goal are more engaged with learning and are better able to plan their courses to make the most of their credit hours. SEED schools have exciting career learning opportunities, such as SEED LA's partnership with LA Metro, and SEED Miami's senior internship program!

This weekend, graduates from SEED DC's founding classes gathered to connect and reflect with Lesley Poole on the legacy and community she has built in her time with SEED. These early graduates share an experience like no other--as the first students of the nation's first urban, public, college-prep boarding school, they forged bonds only a 24-hour learning environment can foster. The SEED DC classes of 2004-2006 got to look back on their time at SEED, and to celebrate their many accomplishments!

Getting accepted to college is a major milestone--representing years of hard work and dedication. But at SEED, we know that "yes" is just the start of the college journey. Many students who enroll in college never earn their degree. That's why SEED provides continuous advising through college degree completion, and why we help students identify colleges and universities with track records of high graduation rates. Read more on our blog to find out why graduation rates are so critical, and what Right Fit colleges do to support student success. https://www.seedfoundation.com/blog/graduation-rates-and-right-fit-readiness

At The SEED Foundation, we know the power of a college degree, and we work tirelessly to ensure the path to opportunity is open to each scholar. While a public narrative persists questioning whether higher education is worth the investment, the data makes a powerful case for postsecondary success:

💼The Career Outlook: By 2031, 66% of all family-sustaining jobs will require a bachelor’s degree or higher.
🪙The $1M Difference: College graduates earn an average of $1 million more over their lifetimes than high school graduates.
🍎A Healthier Life: Degree holders report higher rates of well-being, higher civic engagement, and an average life expectancy seven years longer than peers without a degree.
Yet pathways to college degree attainment remain unequal. Read more about how The SEED Foundation builds bridges of to college access and college completion in our latest blog post. Read the full blog post here. https://www.seedfoundation.com/blog/a-college-degree-provides-a-lifelong-payoff

Flying into the long weekend thinking about this memorable moment from SEED LA's groundbreaking Class of 2026's graduation, when Dr. Theresa Price, CEO of the National College Resources Foundation (NCRF), brought the house down with her announcement that each member of SEED LA’s first graduates was awarded a $1,000 scholarship!

“This class did not just graduate—they made history,” said Dr. Theresa Price, Founder and CEO of NCRF. “Every single one of these 42 young people is college-bound, and NCRF is honored to walk beside them as they take that next step. This scholarship is our promise that their journey does not end at the stage. It begins there, and we will be with them the whole way.”

NCRF partnered with McKallen Medical Training and Fifth Third Bank to make this truly amazing act of generosity possible. Like The SEED Foundation, NCRF believes in supporting students through college and career success. We are so grateful to have partners like this in building pathways to success!
