About us
The SEED Foundation is a national nonprofit that partners with urban communities to provide innovative educational opportunities that prepare underserved students for success in college and beyond. We establish college-prep, public boarding schools and offer SEED graduates postsecondary support through the SEED College Transition & Success Program. In 1998, the Foundation opened The SEED School of Washington, D.C. – the nation’s first urban public boarding school. It serves 340 students in grades 6 - 12. To date, 93 percent of all SEED graduates have enrolled in college. Building on that success, The SEED School of Maryland opened in Baltimore in 2008. Approximately 400 students live and learn on the 52-acre SEED Maryland campus; the school graduated its first class of seniors in 2015, and 100% of graduates were accepted to four-year colleges. In August 2014, The SEED School of Miami opened its doors to its first class of 60 sixth-graders, and will add a grade each year until it has 400 students enrolled in grades six through twelve. SEED has also been recognized in the national media for our model and our results. Our success has been celebrated by 60 Minutes, The Oprah Winfrey Show, the documentary film Waiting for "Superman," the Today Show, the New York Times, Time Magazine, Fox News, and CNN, among others.

SEED graduate Darian Tucker (SEED MD '22, Albright College '26) chose SEED because it offered what he was looking for: a clear path to college. Darian's experiences at SEED, such as travel abroad and performing on stage—shaped his college goals. https://lnkd.in/e86U3JUQ

Manifestation is real!✨ A few months ago I had the honor of speaking as a keynote speaker at the 2024 SEED Graduation Institute and it was nothing short of amazing.🙌🏾🙌🏾 Becoming a keynote speaker has been on my bucket list for a while, so being able to do that while impacting college students through a career readiness presentation was a no-brainer! Many thanks to Quinton Lampkin & The SEED Foundation for the invite & incredible opportunity. #RunYourRace #BiggerThanMe #Inspire #Educate #Assistothers #Leadership

This year’s changes to the 2024-2025 FAFSA posed challenges for many families, but there’s still time to apply for financial aid for the 2024-2025 school year. As part of a nationwide push to boost FAFSA completion, SEED’s college success experts are hosting free FAFSA Completion Workshops in communities across the country to make sure college students don’t miss out on critical financial aid. The SEED Foundation is proud to partner with the the Department of Education and ECMC on this critical initiative.
