Success, Engagement, Education, Determination (SEED) Program
SEED helps college students with disabilities get the training they need to get ahead in life.
The SEED Application is open for the 2026-27 academic year. Interviews are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis in order the applications are received.
The LCCC SEED support program, in partnership with LVCIL, provides comprehensive direct services for students interested in either a credit bearing certificate, degree seeking, or workforce certificate of completion. You will be working with dedicated individuals to support people with IDD and other disabilities as they achieve their goals of independent living and securing competitive employment. Our goal is to promote your development of soft and/or technical skills, socialization, and independent living skills needed for post-high school success.
