Academic Competitiveness Grant & Pell

Paying for College
1

<p>So I just read that ACG only is given to students with Pell awards.. apparently my EFC rose from 3385 to 5xxx, so I won't be receiving Pell, but I was wondering if we get the ACG, only if we get the minimal PELL? </p>

<p>I'm going to see if there is anyway I can lower my EFC.</p>

<p>You have to be Pell eligible for the ACG. If you were eligible for the lowest amount of Pell then you would be eligible for the ACG (assuming you are otherwise eligible). If you are not Pell eligible then no ACG. This is also the last year for the ACG.</p>
