To be eligible for Federal Supplemental Educational Grant (FSEOG),  you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), meet federal aid eligibility criteria, and be an undergraduate student seeking your first degree.  Priority consideration is given to Federal Pell Grant eligible students with the lowest Expected Family Contribution (EFC)*.  Funding for this program is very limited.   

*As of the 2024-2025 FAFSA, priority consideration will be given to Federal Pell Grant eligible students with the lowest Student Aid Index (SAI).

FSEOG FAQs

Is there an enrollment requirement to receive FSEOG?

Yes, at least halftime enrollment (6 hours for undergraduate students) in financial aid eligible courses is required to receive FSEOG.

May I receive more FSEOG than the amount awarded?

No, you are considered for your maximum FSEOG eligibility at the time you are awarded.

I received FSEOG last year, but not this year.  Why?

Your FSEOG eligibility can change from year to year based on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) results, the date your FAFSA was completed, enrollment status, and/or available funding.  FSEOG is a very limited fund.
