A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG as known as SEOG) is a federal grant given to students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. This loan helps undergraduate students who hold no bachelor’s or higher degree and have exceptional financial need. Priority is given to students with the lowest EFC, determined by information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), who also receive Federal Pell Grants.
There is no guarantee that every eligible student will receive an FSEOG. So, it is important to apply early to have a better chance of receiving a grant. FSEOG awards are based on the availability of funds at Troy University. The FSEOG does not have to be paid back by the student.
