SEO Career Summit

First year, sophomore and juniors currently attending an accredited, four-year, US college or university. Transfer students from a 2-year school must have a GPA at their 4-year school and SEO may request a transcript.

Competitive candidates should have a GPA of 3.2. First year students may apply in their fall semester without a GPA. You must be a US citizen or US legal permanent resident.* All majors are welcome.

*F-1 Students may be eligible for Phase 2: Success

SEO Scholars is a free program! Everything we provide to our Scholars is free, including but not limited to academic classes, SAT prep, field trips, guest speaker sessions, Enrichment Programs (pre-college, study abroad, or internship), etc.

Financial eligibility is assessed on a case by case basis. While financials are evaluated alongside all parts of each students’ application, SEO Scholars have an average income of $40,000.

We look for driven and eager students who are willing to put in the extra time and effort to succeed academically. In addition, we know that a college education can have the greatest long-term impact on lower income families. Therefore, we do not make admissions decisions based solely on income, but we do consider this factor in our deliberation process.

While there’s no replacing an in-person experience, we understand that not everyone can get to NYC for the event. If you can’t make it in person, we’ve taken steps to ensure you can log in virtually, that Summit remains engaging and you’ll feel like you’re in the room.

We review applications for Edge on an ongoing basis and candidates are selected to receive career prep resources, training, and coaching year-round. Candidates seeking summer internships with our partners are reviewed October through April and selections are made on a rolling basis.

Note: You may apply at any time to Edge for professional development support, beginning in your first year of college.

The Summit takes place in late May (dates fluctuate slightly year over year), usually a week or two before the start of summer internships.
