The Seinfeld Scholarship Program was established by Jerry Seinfeld and his family to give back to the city he loves.  It awards high school students who have achieved academic excellence and committed themselves to community service.

The Seinfeld Scholarship Program is not being offered this year.

Seinfeld Scholars receive a four-year scholarship to the college or university of the student's choice. The Seinfeld Scholarship Program will cover up to $10,000 a year including books, tuition  and room and board. Recipients are also given personal support throughout the year, as well as access to college prep programs, mentoring and service opportunities.

The scholarship awards are based on academic standing, and financial need.

Eligibility this year will be for Bronx residents.
