What is a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant?
A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need–that is, a student with the lowest Expected Family Contributions (EFC’s)–and given priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants. An FSEOG does not have to be paid back. In order to apply and determine your eligibility for this grant, please complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Awarded under the federal aid program, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are available to students with exceptional need who are progressing satisfactorily toward a degree. By law, top priority is given to students who are Federal Pell Grant recipients. How do I qualify? Students who wish to be considered for the FSEOG program should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before March 1, 2008 for the 2008-2009 academic year and before March 1, 2009 for the 2009-2010 academic year. An FSEOG award will appear on the Award Notification letter for those students receiving this award. You must reapply for financial aid each year. Enrollment and Satisfactory Academic Progress All financial aid is awarded subject to acceptance or readmission to the University as a regular degree seeking student. A student is eligible for financial assistance if she/he maintains satisfactory academic progress. This progress is reviewed at the end of each spring and/or summer
