vinner - I remember from your earlier post that you filed the wrong FAFSA so missed the deadline. FSEOG is a *very *limited grant - schools are only given $xxx and once they have awarded $xxx they have no more to give and cannot get any more (unlike the Pell where you get what your EFC qualifies you for). As you were not in the system when the initial awards were being made the FSEOG funds were probably already gone by the time you filed the correct FAFSA.

Also schools can decide their own policies on how to award what FSEOG funds they have so it is never guaranteed like the Pell even if you file early.
