<p>I got my estimated package last month, and Brown calculated 5,050 in Pell Grants for me. However, my FAFSA estimated my Pell Grants at about 3495 originally. When Brown does the official package, will this number drop? If so, will they match it by raising the amount Brown scholarship they gave me, or by raising my Student Contribution? I should point out that I’m below Brown’s income threshold, and so my Parent Contribution is calculated at 0.</p>
<p>Also, a few days ago, I got an update from FAFSA saying that a Financial Aid Administrator at “my college” had updated my FAFSA, and my EFC went up 500$. What’s that about?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
