HELP!! Am i eligible for Pell Grant?

<p>To qualify for the Gates Millenium scholarship, you have to be eligible for the Pell Grant. I dont know if i qualify for that.. so i dont wanna waste time writing 10 essays for something i'm not eligible for..
my family income is 71,000 per year.. and i have a twin brother.. so next year both of us are going to college (probably stanford and some ivy school)
Does anyone know if i'm qualified for Pell Grant??
Thanks</p>

<p>A basic overview is here Federal</a> Pell Grant . Based on the income criteria stated, my guess is you would probably not be eligible for a Pell.</p>

<p>sry for stealin the thread but do you have to apply for a pell grant or are you automatically considered for one when you apply for fafsa (and meet the pell grant requirements)?</p>

<p>You don't "apply for fafsa". You complete the FAFSA which is then sent to your colleges where the financial aid awards are determined and dispersed. Your eligibility for a Pell grant will be made on the basis of the information on the FAFSA.</p>
