Federal and State Aid Programs

Florida Southern participates in all of the major federal and many state-based programs based upon financial need. Even if you do not qualify for a federal or state grant, you may still be eligible for a need-based assistance from ³Ô¹ÏÍø.

Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate, degree-seeking students who had not already obtained a bachelor’s degree. The amount depends on your financial need, costs to attend school, status as a full-time or part-time student, and plans to attend school.

Up to $7,395

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program provides need-based grants to help low-income undergraduate, degree-seeking students with exceptional need to finance the costs of postsecondary education.

Up to $500

Federal Work-Study Program

For need-based students who qualify, the Federal Work-Study Program provides students with part-time jobs to help meet their financial need and offer work experience on campus and in the community. Eligibility for work-study and other federal programs is based upon the FAFSA, which must be filed annually.

Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG)

The Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG) Program is a need-based grant program available to degree-seeking, resident, undergraduate students who demonstrate substantial financial need and are Florida residents.
Funds may be limited and it’s important to complete your FAFSA early to receive full consideration.
