FAFSA? Grants? Help please.

<p>So.. it is to my knowledge that FAFSA is an application for eligibility of financial aid. My EFC is 0 and I got the max amount for Pell Grant. I'm enrolling as a freshman in September and I've applied for the Work Study program as well, but will be there be more additional aids for me? Is FAFSA and Pell Grant connected in the way that the amount I get from the Pell Grant will be the only amount I get from filling in the FAFSA? And how could I apply for the ACG and FSEOG? Do they come automatically? Please help me because I am muddled. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>FSEOG and ACG are federal grants that are awarded by the college - no application necessary. The college has a certain amount of FSEOG money it can distribute as it sees fit - most give it to their lowest EFC, but I know some also give more to their returning students than to freshmen. It should appear on your FA award letter if they intend to offer it to you.</p>

<p>ACG is a fixed amount ($750 1st year, $1400 2nd) but only if your HS transcript review shows that you are also academically eligible. Make sure your GC sends your final transcript to the college at year end and FA will award it later in the summer or next fall, when their reivew is complete.</p>
