Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need, with priority given to those who will receive a Federal Pell Grant during the award year. FSEOG funds are limited.  To be considered for an FSEOG award, you must submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the University and complete the financial aid application process with the Financial Aid Office each academic year, by Friday of the second week of your first semester of the year (for continuing students, the first semester of the academic year will generally be the Fall semester; for new or re-entering students, the first semester may be Fall, Spring or Summer).  

In order to serve the best interests of our students, FNU allocates a percentage of these funds throughout the award year to be awarded each term for new and continuing students who are ready to be packaged for the award year or the remainder of the award year. First priority for receiving an FSEOG award will be an applicant with the lowest expected family contribution (EFC) who is also a Pell grant recipient during the award year. The annual range of possible FSEOG awards at FNU is currently $100 to $300.  

If all Pell grant recipients receive an FSEOG award, the next priority for awarding FSEOG funds would be students with the lowest EFC who are not Pell recipients.
