This tool helps you estimate your eligibility for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) based on your financial details.
How to Use the FSEOG Estimator
To use the FSEOG estimator, please enter the following information:

How the Estimator Calculates Results
The FSEOG Estimator takes the following steps to calculate your estimated aid:
- Determines initial eligibility based on household income and dependents: The fewer your dependents and the higher your income, the less aid you will likely receive.
- Subtracts any other financial aid you may have been awarded from your expected tuition to determine remaining need.
- Uses predefined federal grant guidelines to estimate the amount of FSEOG for which you might qualify.
