CategoriesEducation & Academia

FSEOG stands for Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, an academic abbreviation.

Campus-based federal grant of $100 to $4,000 a year for undergraduates with exceptional financial need, with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Each college receives a limited allocation and awards it until funds run out.

Example: Her aid package included a $1,200 FSEOG on top of the Pell Grant.

Usage notes

Because funding is limited, students who file the FAFSA early are more likely to receive it. Colleges must contribute matching funds in most cases. It is often shortened to SEOG.
