undergraduate and graduate students with need to help pay for their 
education and to involve the students in community service activities.
    The FSEOG program encourages institutions to provide grants to 
exceptionally needy undergraduate students to help pay for their 
education.
    The Perkins Loan, FWS, and FSEOG programs are authorized by parts E
