SEOG is available to eligible undergraduate students who qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. It is usually awarded in combination with a loan or work-study. Funding for this grant is very limited. It is usually awarded only to students from historically disadvantaged families. This grant may be reduced or removed if student fees are paid by another source, including Cal Grants.
Funds are limited, so apply early each year.
Because of funding limitations, newly admitted students receive first priority. State eligibility requirements differ somewhat from federal. The Admissions Office must have determined you are a California resident in order for you to receive state aid. An additional application specific to each tribe is required. Applications have varying deadlines.
