is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Pell Grant
recipients with the lowest expected family contributions (EFCs) will
be considered first for a FSEOG. Just like Pell Grants, the FSEOG does
not have to be repaid.
How much can I get?
You can receive between $100 and $4,000 a year, depending on when you
apply, your financial need, the funding at the school you're
attending, and the policies of the financial aid office at your
school.
If I am eligible, how will I get the FSEOG money?
If you're eligible, your school will credit your account, pay you
directly (usually by check), or combine these methods. Your school
must pay you at least once per term (semester, trimester, or quarter).
Schools that do not use semesters, trimesters, or quarters must
disburse funds at least twice per academic year.
