The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is a grant for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. Students will be considered for this grant if they have completed the FAFSA.
Due to extremely limited funding, it is possible for a student to meet the baseline eligibility criteria listed below and still not receive FSEOG for one or more semesters. A determination of students’ eligibility and awarding takes place in mid-Fall and mid-Spring. All students awarded will be notified by email.
Eligibility requirements for the grant*
- Eligible to receive the Federal Pell Grant
- Enrolled in at least 9 units during the semester awarded
- Maintain ‘Satisfactory’ financial aid SAP status (not on Warning, Probation, MTF Probation, Suspended, or Maximum Time Frame)
- Not already a Cal Grant and SSCG recipient at the time FSEOG is awarded
*Funding for FSEOG is extremely limited, particularly during the Spring semester. We prioritize awarding this grant to students with the highest unmet need based on their financial aid file. Being awarded FSEOG in the fall semester does not guarantee you will be awarded in the spring. You will automatically be considered for this grant if you meet the eligibility criteria listed above.
