# §676.20. Minimum and maximum FSEOG awards.

- (a) An institution may award an FSEOG for an academic year in an amount it determines a student needs to continue his or her studies. However, except as provided in [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section, an FSEOG may not be awarded for a full academic year that is—
  - (1) Less than $100; or
  - (2) **More than $4,000.**
- (b) For a student enrolled for less than a full academic year, the minimum allowable FSEOG may be proportionately reduced.
- (c) The maximum amount of the FSEOG may be increased from $4,000 to as much as $4,400 for a student participating in a program of study abroad that is approved for credit by the home institution, if reasonable costs for the study abroad program exceed the cost of attendance at the home institution.
