<p>Our EFC is 0. How do they decide the amount of the pell grant if it is offered? Is it automatic for an EFC of 0?</p>

<p>Yes, it is automatic. A schedule is used: Pell</a> Award Schedule. If you are full time, you get the whole amount. It is prorated if you drop below full time (12 credits). You are entitled to this amount.</p>

<p>P.S. The schedule I linked is per semester. Your yearly allotment is double that ... you get half your yearly award each semester.</p>
