History
SEO was founded in 1963 by Michael Osheowitz[6] to provide people from deprived communities with access to educational and career opportunities.[1] SEO was one of the first mentoring and college preparatory programs for these communities in New York.[3] The current program model was implemented in September 2006.[7]

SEO Scholars
SEO Scholars is an eight-year program that gets low-income public high school students in New York City and San Francisco to and through college. In high school, the program provides 720 additional hours of academic instruction—the equivalent of 2.5 years of additional English instruction and 1.5 years of additional math instruction on Saturdays, in the summers, and after school.[9]
