The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is referred to as gift aid, which means the funds do not

have to be repaid. This federal grant is awarded to exceptionally needy undergraduate students who are

enrolled at least half-time (6-8 credits), with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Award amounts may

vary and are dependent on enrollment status: full-time, at least 12 credits; three-quarter-time, 9-11 credits;

and half-time, 6-8 credits. Awards can range from $200 to $2,000 per year, however, the actual amount

granted is based on the availability of funds at the participating school.
