The Federal Pell Grant is for those who are seeking a postsecondary education and is based on several factors which include income, expected family contribution, if the student is enrolled full time or part time, how much tuition is at the school of attendance, and how long the student is going to be attending the institution. A Pell Grant is only available with one school at a time for the student. How much the student receives is calculated by the Department of Education with a formula that was set forth by Congress. The student who is requesting a Federal Pell Grant has to fill out a FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The information put on this form is the students income, if they are a dependant of their parents then it will be their parents income, either the students or the parents assets, how many people are in the family, and how many people in the family are attending a postsecondary institution but you cannot include the parents in this section. The Pell Grant is only for those students who do not have their bacculearate degree or who are going to a post bacculaureate program that is for a teaching degree or license. There is a formula that calculates who may be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant. The result of the calculation is your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number.
