Distribution of Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Funds
For the distribution of FSEOG funds, the information in this announcement supersedes the Aug. 29, 2024, announcement. By Sept. 30, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) will reallocate all supplemental FSEOG funds to schools located in areas that have been directly affected by recent severe storms or disaster events and had eligibility for supplemental funding. Schools are only able to receive FSEOG funding up to the amount requested on the Fiscal Operations Report for 2022–23 and Application to Participate for 2024–25 (FISAP). The purpose of the FSEOG program is to provide grant funding to assist qualified students who demonstrate financial need. We strongly encourage schools to award FSEOG funds to needy students, particularly those who are affected by hurricanes Beryl, Debby, and Francine.
