If you feel that a private high school would be the right step for your child after graduation from MEMS, but wonder how your family can afford the tuition, New Jersey SEEDS may be able to help. Motivated, high-achieving students of modest means are invited to apply for participation in New Jersey SEEDS (Scholars, Educators, Excellence, Dedication, Success). Admission to the program, which helps obtain substantial financial aid to attend private day and boarding schools, is made during 7^th grade. Selected students participate in a variety of academic programs throughout the summer and the 8^th grade school year to prepare them for a successful private high school experience. For more information, contact Marlyn Velez, Admissions Coordinator, mvelez@njseeds.org or Joanne Monroe at jmonroe@mers.k12.nj.us.
