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. 

Eligibility

Financial eligibility is determined on an individual basis and based on total annual financial income.  A student is economically eligible if he or she meets the following criteria:

Number of Members in Household (including head of household)	Estimated Gross Annual Family Income Fall/Spring 2005
1	$  14,100
2	19,600
3	22,350
4	27,800
5	32,850
6	38,550
7	42,900

*Plus $4,350 for each family member in excess of 7.

**A student whose parent received public assistance benefits in the base year is automatically eligible for the program.

Applying for Financial Aid

Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to become eligible for any and all forms of financial support.  In addition, they must show eligibility by submitting tax return forms.  Students are also encouraged to apply for college-sponsored scholarships.  Students can speak to their counselors about the wide variety of scholarships available.  You can also visit the Baruch College scholarship webpage: scholarships
