Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is a federal, campus-based grant. This means that federal funds are provided to individual universities to administer at their discretion (although always within federally governed parameters); Federal SEOG amounts and eligibility requirements may therefore vary from university to university.
At Indiana University Bloomington, Federal SEOG details are as follows:
- A student must have an EFC of 0.
- A student must be receiving a Pell Grant (and thus be working on their first undergraduate degree).
- A student must be enrolled at least half time.
- The FAFSA must be filed by the IUB priority deadline (March 1).
- For the 2009-2010 academic year, the amount of the award is $1000.
- The Federal SEOG is a need-based award and thus counts towards fulfilling a student’s overall need figure.
