FAQs
The Federal Employee Education & Assistance Fund (FEEA) -- or "FEE-uh" as it's commonly
pronounced -- is the only non-profit organization devoted solely to helping civilian federal and
postal employees.  FEEA offers
scholarships and emergency financial assistance to civilian federal
and postal employees and their qualifying family members.

Emergency loans and grants are available to help employees who fall behind on basic living
expenses (mortgage/rent or utilities) due to unforeseen emergencies such as LWOP, government
pay error, death or illness in the family, or natural disaster.  The current loan limit is $1000; grants
are most often given in the wake of natural disasters and limits are set on a case-by-case  or
disaster-by-disaster basis.  Loans are no-interest and are repaid through payroll allotment.

FEEA's
Scholarship Program is an annual, merit-based contest open to civilian federal and postal
employees, their spouses and college-age children.  Awards range from $500-$2,500 for one year.  
Applications are available January - March each year.

Since its inception in 1986, FEEA has provided more than $7 million in scholarship assistance and
more than $5.5 million in emergency loans and grants to federal employees and their families.
