Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

The FSEOG is a federal grant available to students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. The awarded amount is determined by the school, with priority given to students who receive the Pell Grant.

Eligibility - Student must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. Student must be enrolled in a post-secondary institution as either a full or part-time undergraduate student.

Maximum Allowed – The maximum that a student can receive per school year is $4,000.

Minimum Allowed – The minimum that a student can receive per school year is $100.

Disbursement – Similar to a Pell Grant, the school you attend will inform you in writing of how much and when you will get paid. The school will disburse the award either by crediting your account, writing a check, or a combination of the two. Schools are required to pay you at least twice per academic year; most schools pay at the beginning of each semester or trimester.
