Hello,

So my mom and step-dad very recently separated, but on the FAFSA it is marked as they are married. While married, their EFC was around $13,000. However, with just my mom’s income, the EFC should drop to around $3,000. I believe this makes me eligible for pell grants so I was wondering, if I fill out the special circumstances form for separated parents, would I then be able to receive pell grants or other kinds of aid for the upcoming school year. Thank you!

This link may help; It appears from this that filling out the special circumstances form may help you recieve aid. While there are no guarantees you can’t get what you want unless you ask for it!
