Since 1963, Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) has made a lifetime of achievement possible for 11,000 talented young people from underserved and underrepresented communities. We offer three distinct programs: SEO Scholars. SEO Scholars is a rigorous eight-year academic program that prepares low-income public high school students for admission to the nation’s most competitive colleges—and supports them through college graduation. Ninety-five percent of SEO Scholars graduate college in six years and eighty percent graduate in four years. SEO Career. SEO Career is the nation’s premier summer internship program for talented, underrepresented college students of color. Historically, more than seventy-five percent of SEO Career interns receive full-time job offers from our partner firms. SEO Alternative Investments. SEO Alternative Investments provides education, exposure, training, and mentoring opportunities to talented professionals traditionally underrepresented in the alternative investments sector. Our Distinguished Alumni. SEO is an alumni-driven organization. Once a student is accepted into one of our three programs, he or she becomes a member of a network of highly successful leaders which numbers more than 11,000 and represents 46 U.S. states and 48 countries. We support the ongoing professional and leadership development of our alumni via panel discussions, networking events, virtual resources, and volunteer opportunities. Alumni leadership has spurred the creation of our international affiliates: SEO London, SEO China, SEO Vietnam, SEO Africa, and SEO Puerto Rico.
