Scholarship Opportunities
Philips Exeter Academy, a prestigious co-educational residential school in New Hampshire, offers Seeds graduates from the Middle East and South Asia the opportunity to apply for full scholarships to attend high school (9th-12th, and post graduate level). Since 2002 Afghan, Palestinian, and Yemeni Seeds of Peace graduates have greatly enriched campus life at Exeter and many have gone on to pursue undergraduate education in the United States on merit-based scholarships at schools such as Dartmouth College, Wellesley College, and Manhattanville College among many others. Exeter now also offers scholarships for a five week program during the summer.
Seeds graduates interested in this opportunity should apply directly to Phillips Exeter Academy. Selection decisions are made entirely by the staff of Exeter according to their standard application process of the Office of Admission; however, applicants should be sure to mention that they are a member of Seeds of Peace.
"What is unique and special about this particular camp is that people never discriminate on the basis of caste, creed, religion or nationality. There is a safe and secure environment where every Seed is able to express their honest views. "
