<p>Pell grant eligibility is based on the FAFSA EFC (which is based on income and assets). For the 2009-2010 school year the maximum EFC for any Pell eligibility was 4617. With a 8000+ EFC you will not be eligible for any pell. Some other federal grant money such as SMART ad ACG requires Pell eligibility. Criteria for SEOG is set by each school but the most common criteria I have heard of is 0 EFC. You will likely not be eligible for any federal grant money.</p>
