Description:
The FSEOG Program provides need-based grants to low-income
undergraduate students to promote access to postsecondary education.
Students can receive these grants at any one of approximately 4,000
participating postsecondary institutions. Institutional financial aid
administrators at participating institutions have substantial
flexibility in determining the amount of FSEOG awards to provide
students who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment. Priority is
given to those students with “exceptional need” (those with the lowest
expected family contributions at the institution) and those who are
also Federal Pell Grant recipients. Financial need is determined by
the U.S. Department of Education, using a standard formula to evaluate
the financial information reported on the FAFSA and to determine the
family’s expected family contribution (EFC). After filing a FAFSA, the
student receives a Student Aid Report (SAR), or the school receives an
Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR), which provides the
EFC.
