<p>I just realized that my financial aid package did not include FSEOG.</p>
<p>I have at least a 3.0 with an EFC of 0 and was eligible for Pell Grant (got $5350), ACG, and Cal Grant.</p>
<p>I should be eligible right?</p>
<p>Could I call in and ask for it? x.x</p>
<p>SEOG is a strange grant and very hard to predict whether you are eligible for it. It is not like the Pell where xxxx EFC automatically means $xxxx grant. Each school is given a limited amount of SEOG funds and the schools decide themselves their own criteria for how to award it. One school may decide that a 0 EFC is the criteria while another may set a completely different criteria. So you may or may not be eligible for it based on the criteria set by your school. Or you may be eligible and they may be out of SEOG funds. It is always worth asking but don’t be too surprised if they say no.</p>
<p>Schools also decide what their own maximum SEOG wil be - for instance my son’s school awards a maximum of $200 in SEOG while my daughter’s school awards a maximum of $2000.</p>
