The '''Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) Program''', established in 1966 under the Higher Education Act of 1965, is administered by the Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) to provide grants to eligible students at participating colleges and universities, allocating over $10 billion since inception to support approximately 1.5 million students annually by 2025. Initially funded with $70 million, it has grown to distribute $840 million in FY 2024 across 3,000 awards, funding education for the neediest students at over 4,000 institutions.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/fseog |title=Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants |publisher=Office of Federal Student Aid}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding limitations and institutional disparities persist (web ID: 5), but it remains a key component of federal student aid under DOE.
