The Federal SEOG program provides financial grant assistance to Pell Grant eligible undergraduates with exceptional financial need which, for the purpose of this program, is defined as those with the lowest Expected Family Contribution (EFC) (2023–24 FAFSA) or Student Aid Index (SAI) (2024–25 FAFSA).

The grants are made from funds provided by the federal government to Hawkeye. We, in turn, select students who have applied for financial aid and meet awarding criteria established by the federal government.

FSEOG awards at Hawkeye are based on the availability of funding and can range from $175 – $350 per semester.

These funds are limited and awarded on a first come, first serve basis; therefore not all students who qualify will receive an FSEOG grant.
