Academic
Tutoring in basic skills and all other subjects is offered to students throughout their course of study. For beginning students who have skills deficiencies, individual and group sessions, including evening and weekend hours, are arranged to accommodate busy schedules.
Counseling
A wide range of counseling services are available to SEEK students. During freshman orientation students are assigned a counselor who provides personal counseling and information on program and college services, regulations and resources.
Financial
Students who apply to the SEEK Program must also file for the Pell Grant and TAP.
If students show need under federal financial aid guidelines, they may be eligible for funds to cover the student activity fee and the cost of books, and may be granted a stipend (a fixed allowance that helps pay for educational expenses other than tuition).
Federal Pell Grant
This federal entitlement program was instituted to help undergraduate matriculated students meet the cost of their education. Pell grants are awarded to eligible students enrolled in a full-time program (12 or more credits). Reduced grants are available to students enrolled part-time. Applicants must demonstrate financial need. Awards range up to $2,025 per semester. Students must apply each year.
TAP (Tuition Assistance Program)
This New York State tuition grant program is available to full-time matriculated students who have been legal residents of New York State for at least one year. Awards, which range from $250 to $2,000 per semester, vary according to financial ability and may be used solely to pay the cost of tuition. Applicants applying as independent students must meet special requirements. SEEK students are eligible for ten semesters of assistance.
