SEEDS - Access Changes Everything (formerly New Jersey SEEDS) is a privately funded, statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities to academically talented, financially limited students. SEEDS works with competitive, primarily independent, secondary schools to provide opportunities for highly motivated, academically qualified, and economically disadvantaged students.
The College Scholars Program was announced 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 the twelfth-grade. In addition, students take part in a three-week residential session during the summer before their senior year in high school.
