Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is an additional grant available to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need and gives priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants and whose Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is a zero. The grant may not exceed $1,500.
Requirements
To receive a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), a student must:
- Demonstrate exceptional need and
- must be enrolled in at least 6 eligible hours during the Fall/Spring semester and 3 eligible hours during the summer session,
- must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that will determine how much financial need students have.
- Students who will receive Federal Pell Grant and have the most financial need may receive the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) first. The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant does not need to be repaid.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program is administered directly by the financial aid office and is therefore called “campus-based” aid. Students should check with the Student Financial Aid & Veterans Affairs Services Center to see if students qualify for these funds.
