<p>In answer to above questions, Pell is portable (except see Mini's exception above:)), but FSEOG is at the discretion of the school and the total amount the school has received from the government.</p>

The U.S. Department of Education guarantees that each participating school will receive enough money to pay the Federal Pell Grants of its eligible students. There’s no guarantee every eligible student will be able to receive an FSEOG; students at each school will be awarded these funds based on availability at that school.
