When am I supposed to know if I'm eligible for the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant?

SEOG grants are a campus based source of federal aid. This means that the school receives a set amount of money each year from the federal government, and they decide how to distribute it. Usually it is awarded to students with the lowest EFC's but schools often also reserve it for particular groups of students, such as those in certain programs that are more expensive that others. Or, they may give it to out of state students because their tuition is higher and they don't qualify for state aid. At some schools, they use it primarily for freshmen whose loan limits are lower than those for upper classmen. Generally speaking the SEOG would be offered at the same time as your other federal aid, so if it wasn't part of your package, you probably will not receive it this year. If in doubt, contact the financial aid office at your school and ask.
