SEO Scholars is a free, eight-year academic and leadership program that gets motivated public high school students to and through college – with a 90% college graduation rate. 100% of Scholars are accepted into four-year colleges, and this fall, over half of our Scholars in the Class of 2019 are attending a tier 1 school. 

SEO looks for highly motivated Scholars who will contribute to the program with character, commitment, and grit and can also grow academically and professionally.  We accept applications from any New York City public high school student with a minimum GPA of 70%.  We already have over 1000 Scholars representing over 120 schools across all 5 boroughs, and we’d like to add your school and your students to our growing and thriving community.
