<p>There is nothing on FAFSA about professional certificates. Professional *students <a href=“e.g.%20medical%20and%20law”>/I</a> are not eligible for the Pell grant, I wonder if that is what you saw? Otherwise what mildred posted is correct - the pell is only available for students that have not completed the requirements for a bachelors degree. If he meets the required EFC cut off then he will be eligible for the Pell. As an independent student his income will have to be pretty low to qualify for the Pell.</p>
