The SEEK Program provides special academic, finance and counseling assistance to students entering college for the first time. The program provides services to help students succeed in the college setting.
The Creation and Purpose of SEEK
SEEK was created in 1966 when the New York State Legislature
enacted a law that mandated the creation of programs providing access and
support for New York City residents and to advance the cause of equality and
educational opportunity at the City University of New York. Today the university
maintains a commitment to admit students under the provisions of this law and
accept students who normally would not qualify through regular admissions
criteria.
