Federal Supplemental Education
Opportunity Grants – or FSEOG – are the second-largest
educational grant program, after Pell
Grants. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants are reserved for undergraduate students with the
greatest financial need. Priority is given to students who
also qualify for a Pell Grant.
Unlike Federal Pell Grants – where the government provides
funding for all qualifying students, regardless of which eligible
school they attend – FSEOG funding is far more limited.
Eligibility
And Award Limits For FSEOG Grants |
 |
Participating schools receive a predetermined amount of FSEOG
grant funds for the award year. Once those funds are used
up, no additional awards can be awarded and distributed.
The maximum FSEOG Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant award is $4,000 per year. The minimum award for those
who qualify is usually no less than $100. The amount you actually
receive will depend on:
- Your financial need
- The amount of other aid received
- Availability of funds at your school
