Nominations are open now through March 20 for the Seitz Award, celebrating outstanding first or second year undergraduate students. Coordinated through Student Life by Student Advocacy and& Support, this annual award recognizes an undergraduate student who embodies the student-created “We Are Blue Hens” values statement.

The fund for the George and Margaret Collins Seitz Award was established in 1954 at the University of Delaware by Margaret Seitz to honor the memory of her mother and father. This annual recognition, which includes a $1,500 award, is presented each spring to an undergraduate student who exemplifies outstanding character by demonstrating and encouraging in others the We Are Blue Hen values of respect, openness, innovation, engagement and mentorship.

Nominees must be matriculated first- or second-year undergraduate students in good academic and disciplinary standing who plan to continue at the University of Delaware. They may be from any major, may live on or off campus, and are not required to demonstrate financial need. The award winner will be chosen by a faculty/staff/student committee and announced prior to Commencement.

All faculty, staff and students may submit nominations online by 5 p.m., March 20, 2025.
