Many Pell recipients also will get a supplemental grant too. The two don’t amount to much but it doesn’t come out of the school coffers.

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT

What is a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant?

An FSEOG is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need—that is, students with the lowest EFCs— and gives priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants. An FSEOG doesn’t have to be paid back.

What’s the difference between an FSEOG and a Federal Pell Grant?

The U.S. Department of Education guarantees that each participating school will receive enough money to pay the Federal Pell Grants of its eligible students. There’s no guarantee every eligible student will be able to receive an FSEOG; students at each school will be awarded these funds based on availability at that school.
