For the past 16 years, SEEDS has offered opportunities that have helped hundreds of students advance academically and professionally.

Your video may be selected for broadcast at the ESA Annual Meetings and on the SEEDS website. We want to bring your story to students who are new to SEEDS.

And we want the world to know that YOU are making a difference.
