Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOGs) - American Education

A program of federal grants for exceptionally needy college students. Officially called Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, a fixed number of SEOGs of up to $4,000 a year are distributed on a college-by-college basis for apportionment to eligible students on a first-come, firstserved basis, with priority given to PELL GRANT recipients. Once each college’s allocation has been distributed, latecomers are excluded from the program, regardless of need.
