Goodnow Distinguished Service Award from the American Political Science Association in 2007 and the National Capital Area Political Science Association Walter Beach Pi Sigma Alpha Award in 2008. After Seligman's death, his alma mater, Carleton College, established the annual Lee Sigelman Prize in Political Science in his memory.

The first prize was awarded in 2011.[1]
