Every year you have the opportunity to apply for scholarships. Last year they may have given out 50 scholarships
and you were #51. But you dont get discouraged. You find resources, you read about scholarships you apply for additional scholarships. Maybe you haven’t
applied for a Pell Grant, maybe you never heard about FAFSA. Don’t know the difference between a scholarship and a grant?
Scholarships and grants are sources of finacial aid that are awarded for college students.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are grants that are available
for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need, or families with
the lowest Expected Family Contribution. Students who receive Pell Grants have priority for
these FSEOG grants! The value ranges from $100 - $4,000 dollars a year.
However there is no gaurantee for FSEOG grants
