WHAT IS The SEED Foundation Scholarship?
The SEED Foundation has awarded scholarships to low-income, first-generation students since 2004. This funding helps to close the gap between a student’s financial aid package and their total cost of college attendance. Recipients traditionally receive up to $12,000 over four years ($3,000 each year) to pay for college essentials—such as books, technology, housing, food, and transportation.
THE SEED FOUNDATION’S 2024 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
The Class of 2024 SEED Foundation Scholarship recipients are heading off to right fit colleges across the country this fall, ready to work toward their dreams. We asked these SEED seniors to share how they envision their future. Their unique aspirations are propelling them forward to create the futures they deserve and to build legacies of success. At The SEED Foundation, we are proud to support our SEED graduates on the path to achieving their goals to, through, and beyond college. We hope you are inspired by their stories!
