ABOUT SEEDS

SEEDS – Access Changes Everything (founded in 1992 as NJ SEEDS) is a privately funded, nonprofit organization. We change the lives of motivated, high-achieving students from households with limited means by transforming their educational opportunities.  

SEEDS’ programs include advanced academic classes, cultural enrichment opportunities, and leadership training to prepare students for placement at exceptional educational institutions where they can realize their full potential. We encourage our alumni to be leaders who give back to the community. With more than 200 students per year and more than 3,400 graduates, every member of SEEDS’ 25-person main office staff and 75-person site staff understands how their work contributes to students’ success every day. 

The College Scholars Program was launched in April 2015 as an immersion experience designed to reach three times as many students in a wider geographic area than SEEDS’ existing high school academic initiative. College Scholars participate in academic classes each Saturday during the spring of students’ eleventh-grade year, and throughout their twelfth-grade year. In addition, students take part in a three-week residential experience during the summer before their senior year in high school. Throughout the 17-month program, College Scholars receive intensive academic, college application, and social support so that they can be accepted to and succeed in highly competitive colleges and universities.
