General Information

SEEK students are eligible for extended semesters of financial aid, and most SEEK students receive both Pell and Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grants.  While a non-SEEK student receives 8 semesters of TAP, SEEK students receive 10.   Because these are grants and not loans, this money does not need to be repaid.  

In addition, students are given a stipend for books each semester, and their technology fees are covered.
