"We all have potential: potential for what is different for every person but we all can be whatever we want to be if we all work hard enough. SEAD shows you how to reach that goal."
– SEAD student graduate
The SEAD Program forms a partnership with up to five different
schools for a three-year period. During this time, only students from
these schools are eligible for application to the program. If you
believe that you know a school that would fit our program well, we
invite you to nominate the school during our next recruitment period
which will be in Spring 2007.
Potential high schools are eligible to apply for two consecutive
cohorts of SEAD scholars. After the second cohort, all schools must
wait for at least one application cycle before applying again to be a
SEAD partner school.
School Selection Process
- We are not currently accepting applications
Student Selection Criteria
- The student must have successfully completed the 9th grade.
- The student must qualify for the federal free or reduced priced lunch in order to be financially eligible for SEAD.
- The student must have demonstrated academic potential (this does not mean that he/she is already having great academic success when they are nominated for SEAD).
- The student must have demonstrated a strong work ethic.
- The student must be willing and able to work well with others.
- The student must show an interest in being part of a mentoring relationship.
- The student must be willing and able to follow the SEAD behavior code.
- The student must demonstrate good communication and listening skills.
- The student must have a parent/guardian who will be supportive of the SEAD program.
If a student does not return to the program after SEAD I for
whatever reason, another student, selected by the school and approved
by the SEAD board, may join the program beginning in SEAD II. This
student must have completed the 10th grade and should be selected
using the above criteria.
