Founded on the principles of pluralism and inclusion, Brandeis University is a place where exceptional students from diverse backgrounds come together to form a unique and welcoming campus community. Our annual Students Exploring and Embracing Diversity (SEED) program gives prospective students the opportunity to experience how we celebrate multiculturalism and justice at Brandeis.  

The SEED application is open! Apply by Wednesday, September 11, to join us on campus from Friday, October 18, through Saturday, October 19.

SEED will be held Saturday, October 19, and includes Fall for Brandeis Day as a part of the SEED program. Full travel scholarships are provided to cover the cost of transportation to and from Brandeis for students residing in the northeastern U.S., and all meals are provided. 

Why attend SEED?

  • Meet distinguished faculty and current Brandeis student leaders 
  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of the college admissions process

Eligibility

You must be a rising high school senior and currently reside in the northeastern U.S. to apply for SEED.  One parent/guardian must be able to join you for the event, and they will be invited to attend sessions to learn more about Brandeis and our community. Preference will be given to students who are underrepresented in higher education, including first-generation and limited-income/under-resourced students.

How to apply

You must fill out a short application and provide a copy of your high school transcript (unofficial copies are accepted) to be considered for SEED. 

The SEED program is made possible by a generous grant from the Louis D. Brandeis Legacy Fund for Social Justice.
