<p>What are the requirements for this? </p>
<p>I recieved 3 aid packages, 2 had the FSEOG award but 1 didn't. Shouldn't the Federal aid be consistant in all the aid packages?</p>
<p>FSEOG varies from school to school. It is more limited than PELL - a school is given a certain amount of FSEOG $s and once they have awarded that money it is gone. Also each school seems to have a different maximum they can award - the max max is $4000 but our State U the max is $1000</p>
<p>PELL on the other hand you should get the same from every school as it is based on your FAFSA EFC and follows a federally issued table.</p>
<p>I applied to Michigan and all my financial aid documents and everything were sent in ahead of all the deadlines (if anything, I was one of the first people to receive the aid package). I find it ironic that I did not receive the FSEOG. </p>
<p>Is it worth calling them and asking about it?</p>
<p>The worst they can say is no! So yes it is worth a try. Good luck.</p>
<p>We are still waiting for the financial aid package from my Ds school. Submitted FAFSA very early in Feb. Admittedly we had a special circumstances professional judgement review but it is nearly 3 months now. I am going crazy.</p>
<p>even if you qualify, the FSEOG is not guaranteed -- the school can award it as they see the need.</p>
<p>My EFC was only 1300ish.</p>
<p>My EFC was 273 last year and this year it is 194. I received a FSEOG last year of $2200. For the next school year, I received no FSEOG -- but instead, I got state and institutional money (and a better package).</p>
<p>The college has a number of different places where it can draw money from to award -- I have no idea how they do it, but other than the Pell grants and Stafford loans, they can choose how to award it.</p>
<p>However -- I am not saying you should not ask for more! (just that they don't have to award it). I would definitely tell them it was in your other packages and ask them to add it to this school's package.</p>
