Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is similar to the Federal Pell Grant in that it does not have to be repaid except in cases involving a student’s complete withdrawal. SEOG funds are limited and are distributed to students with exceptional need. A student must be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant in order to be considered SEOG. There is no separate application for these funds, but students are required to complete the FAFSA at StudentAid.gov. Students must be enrolled at least half-time to be eligible for SEOG. The maximum FSEOG award a student may receive per academic year at the college is $600.
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress. For information visit the Satisfactory Academic Progress webpage.
Students not maintaining satisfactory academic progress may complete the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form.
Bevill State encourages Direct Deposit (eRefunds) for all students to receive their Financial Aid and Tuition refunds. eRefunds eliminate the chance of a check getting lost, misdirected, delayed during delivery, or misplaced once it is received. Refunds will be available much quicker as they are not mailed and deposit directly into the student’s bank account eliminating the need to physically visit a bank to make a deposit. There are no fees from Bevill State for using eRefunds. Students who do not select to participate in eRefunds will be required to pick up refund checks in the business office on the Jasper Campus.
