Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate students to assist with financing a higher education. FSEOG is a campus-based program, which means a limited allocation of funds is received from the Department of Education to support the program.

Eligibility

A student must meet all general eligibility criteria listed above. However, students cannot be considered for FSEOG if they:

• Are currently defaulted on a federal student loan;
• Owe money due to an overpayment of a federal student grant;
• Have earned a bachelor’s degree;
• Meet the maximum lifetime eligibility units for Pell;
• Has no unmet need following Pell and all other resources

Award Determination

Priority for FSEOG is given to students who are receiving a Pell grant, have unmet need, and have the lowest SAI. Should funds remain after priority students have been considered, then awards will be made to Pell-eligible students with the next lowest SAI in order of lowest to highest. Any funds remaining after all Pell-eligible students have been awarded will be applied in the same manner as Pell-eligible students. FSEOG will be awarded until the program’s funds are depleted.

The maximum award for a student is $200 per semester and is awarded once in the fall and once in the spring.
