WHAT IS The SEED Foundation Scholarship?
Since 2004, The SEED Foundation has provided more than $1 million in critical gap scholarship funding to SEED graduates through The SEED Foundation Scholarship. Awarded annually to seven members of each SEED school’s graduating class, the $12,000 scholarship is distributed over four years. Recipients have the option to apply the funds directly to their area of greatest financial need—such as tuition, books, technology, housing, food, and transportation.
