The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is a limited-funds program, so not all students will be offered the grant - even if they meet eligibility requirements. Some aid is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage all students to submit their FAFSA's as early as possible after it becomes available each October 1. Return to Top of Page Enrollment RequirementsThe FSEOG requires students to be enrolled at least half-time in federal aid-eligible courses. Return to Top of Page LimitsStudents cannot receive the FSEOG after receiving a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree. Financial aid for each aid year also cannot exceed a student's cost of attendance. Return to Top of Page Additional Information and Requirements
Return to Top of Page How to ApplyTo be considered for the FSEOG, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the March 1 priority deadline for each upcoming aid year. Return to Top of Page To get an FSEOG, you must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) so your college can determine how much financial need you have. Students who are eligible for the Federal Pell Grants and have the most financial need will receive FSEOGs first. If there are funds remaining, a secondary disbursement will be made. The FSEOG does not need to be repaid. The FSEOG program is administered directly by the financial aid office at each participating school and is therefore called “campus-based” aid. Not all schools participate. Check with your school's financial aid office to find out if the school offers the FSEOG. How much money can I get?You can receive between $100 and $4,000 a year, depending on your financial need, when you apply, the amount of other aid you get, and the availability of funds at your school. Each participating school receives a certain amount of FSEOG funds each year from the U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid. Once the full amount of the school’s FSEOG funds has been awarded to students, no more FSEOG awards can be made for that year. This system works differently from the Federal Pell Grant Program, which provides funds to every eligible student. So, make sure you apply for federal student aid as early as you can. Each school sets its own deadlines for campus-based funds. The deadline for the Coast Community College District colleges is May 31st. For packaging guidelines please see Packaging Process. What is the deadline date for the Coast Community College District?March 2nd is the deadline in order to receive Cal Grant. Priority processing deadline for Campus Based funds (FSEOG and FWS) is May 31st. Check the Disbursement Dates for dates of disbursement.
