<p>So for the Gates scholarship you have to meet the Federal Pell Grant eligibility criteria.
My parents make over $100,000 a year and have three kids that are going to college. Also they said that they're not going to pay for my college would I qualify for the federal pell grant?</p>

<p>Also I'm going to go to school to get a degree in pharmacy.</p>

<p>you need to post this on the Financial Aid forums, but with 100K income, no, you will not qualify for Pell Grants. They are for low income families. 100K is not low income.</p>

<p>No, even with 3 in college, your EFC will be too high for a Pell Grant. FYI, a Pell Grant is only $5,550 max, so it doesn’t pay for college.</p>

<p>Since your parents won’t pay, you need to find schools that will give you large merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Since you were looking at Gates, are you a URM? If so, which one?</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>How are your siblings paying for college?</p>

<p>You’re in Florida…do you qualify for Bright Futures? Is that what your parents expect you to use to pay for college?</p>

<p>Why should the taxpayers fund your education when your parents could, but won’t?</p>
