The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. One section of the CARES Act established the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) which provides funds to institutions for emergency financial aid grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
