College Success
We provide our students with rigorous academics, exposure to appropriate colleges/universities, strong understanding of college affordability, and opportunities to develop tenacity and educational ownership.
We examine the academic, personal, and financial needs of our students and identify colleges/universities that have a profile of success—high college graduation rates, strong campus-based support systems, and affordability.
We are matching students to colleges/universities that are effectively supporting students with the academic, social, and financial transition through college, and showing evidence of successfully graduating students within a six-year period.
Our work is helping SEED graduates experience success in college and beyond.
