As a college-bound high school student or a current college student, there are many types of education grants available to you. Understanding each grant type may seem overwhelming, but you should continue to educate yourself in the available Department of Education's grant programs that can help you make college more affordable.
One college grant, the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, can provide you up to $4,000 in funds to pay for college! We’ll address common educational opportunity grant questions, and then share the MOST important thing you need to know about this grant, below:
This type of grant is reserved for the most financially needy candidates and is paid in addition to the Pell Grant. The first step in obtaining the FSEOG Grant is by submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
• Be deemed financially eligible via your FAFSA submission
• Meet your college’s FSEOG Grant qualifications (Note: set up an appointment with the financial aid office to find out your college’s specific FSEOG Grant qualifications.)
• Have not earned a bachelor’s degree
This highlights why it’s VERY important to submit your FAFSA as early as you can—if you’re eligible you’ll want to claim all the FSEOG Grant you can before other FSEOG-eligible students do the same.
