Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

Pell-eligible students who demonstrate the highest financial need may be considered for FSEOG, a federal grant that does not have to be repaid. To be awarded FSEOG you must

• be an undergraduate student
• receive a Pell Grant for at least one term during the award year
• have exceptional financial aid need as determined by the Financial Aid office using information you provide on your FAFSA. To meet this requirement, you must have a -1,500 Student Aid Index (SAI).

Learn more about FSEOG.

Amount

The U.S. Department of Education allocates a very limited amount of federal SEOG funding to SDSU each award year. As a result, not all eligible students will receive SEOG. Award amounts are typically $500 for the award year ($250 per term).

Apply early

To increase your chances of receiving SEOG, be sure to submit your FAFSA each year as early as possible. 

Review SDSU's priority deadlines.

How to apply

After October 1 each year, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 

• You will be considered automatically for FSEOG.
• You may apply for aid before being admitted to SDSU.
