Financing Your Education with Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants

by: Michael Saunders
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants assist those undergraduate students enrolled in a postsecondary education that cannot afford their educational expenses without financial assistance. The grant is in place to help them meet their educational expenses to the successful completion of a postsecondary degree.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are overseen by the Department of Education and fall under the Federal Student Aid Information Center. In order to be eligible, students must be enrolled in eligible schools that may be public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education. These can include but are not limited to universities, colleges, hospital schools of nursing, vocational-technical schools and for- profit institutions.

Students are required to sign a statement of educational purpose, a statement of registration compliance (selective service) are not allowed to owe reimbursement on another a Title IV grant, cannot currently have a Title IV loan that is defaulted, cannot already have a bachelors degree and must file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
