Ram Lal Seekri Endowed Scholarship

The Ram Lal Seekri Endowed Scholarship was established by his son, Raj K. Seekri (shown in photograph here) and wife, Kay Paul Seekri as a memorial tribute to his father’s life long commitment to education and his tireless efforts to improve his community. “My father was a teacher who dedicated his whole life to education,” said Raj, “In his area of Punjab State of Northern India, he was very instrumental in promoting education, especially for young women formally ignored by society. He encouraged parents to educate their daughters, because in those days it was thought that girls didn’t need formal education as wives and mothers.” This scholarship is intended for a student(s) pursuing a mathematics degree in the School of Mathematics and Computer Sciences.
