The annual SEEK Scholarship and Award celebrates the academic achievements of students and recognizes their service contribution to the college and community. Graduating seniors are especially highlighted for their perseverance and earning their degrees which transform their lives and that of their families.

The ceremony recognizes SEEK alumni who have distinguished themselves in their chosen professions, provide leadership in their communities and continue to engage with the SEEK program beyond graduation. The members of the SEEK Program believe it is essential to recognize the effort required to overcome the environmental, financial, educational and language barriers confronting many in the SEEK population.

Baruch faculty and staff who have contributed outstanding service to the SEEK Program are also acknowledged.

The Baruch College SEEK Scholarship Fund was established in 1971 to provide scholarships to a selected number of students who have distinguished themselves among their peers and reached the highest level of academic excellence and outstanding service to the community. Scholarships are dispersed annually during the ceremony and this time of year peak time for contribution to the fund.
