Meet some of the students who embody everything SEEDS stands for.
“Without SEEDS I wouldn’t be where I am today: a Harvard graduate and future physician. SEEDS not only changed my life, but also changed the life of my family. I have carried the lessons that SEEDS has taught me in every sphere. In the future, I want to inspire other young kids from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue their dreams and carve their own paths.”
MISHA NAIR
“As a first generation, low-income student, I had no idea how to apply to college until I became a College Scholar. SEEDS has given me the community and resources I would not have had otherwise. As I complete my senior year at Princeton University and prepare for my Ph.D. Program in Political Science at the University of Michigan, I continue to be grateful for the invaluable service that SEEDS provides – creating unique educational pathways for students like me.”
LUIS GUAMAN
“Through SEEDS, I built an incredible network of friends and gained the knowledge and confidence that helped me get to my dream college. Most importantly, I now carry lessons about college and life that I can share with my siblings, younger peers, and others in my community, all thanks to my time at SEEDS.”
ANIYA GIDDINGS
“SEEDS spurred me toward a life I had only dreamed about — whether serving as Head Prefect at a private boarding school, getting into the #1 university in the U.S., interning at Bloomberg, or becoming the CCO of a company — all before graduating college. I couldn’t have imagined any of this was possible without SEEDS.”
LAURA KAHU
“I’ve seen many doors open for me because of my connection with SEEDS. From academic preparation to career development opportunities, SEEDS has consistently invested in my growth and helped me gain access to spaces I may not have reached without them.”
LAUREN GUIONS
“SEEDS has shown me that anything is possible. As a kid from Newark, I grew up without a sense of what I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to go. SEEDS helped me break barriers and exponentially enhance my potential.”
TAAHIR JONES
“Looking back, the SEEDS journey encouraged me to always advocate for myself, and it instilled the importance of staying in touch with my community.”
ALEENA KIBRIA
“I look back over the memories I made at SEEDS fondly. I have kept in touch with SEEDS counselors for years after graduating and have built and inextricable bond with my Delbarton brothers who were also a part of SEEDS. The knowledge that SEEDS has imparted on me has been immensely helpful in everything from school to everyday life.”
