Hello,
My mother and step-father very recently separated so I am now living with just my mom. When I completed the FAFSA, their joint income was about $85,000. With just my mom, it’s $46,000. From research, I believe this brings my EFC from about $13,000 to around $3,000, which I believe qualifies me for pell grants.
So my question is, if I complete a special circumstances form through my school, am I able to start receiving pell grants? Or will I likely get another form of aid?
Thank you!
