The purpose of the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (FSEOG) Program is to encourage schools to provide grants to
exceptionally needy undergraduate students to help pay for their
postsecondary education. This provision is in Section 413C(c)(2) of
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Giving priority to
applicants with exceptional financial need, schools selecting FSEOG
recipients must use the selection criteria discussed in Section 1 of
this chapter.
