<p>I've completed the FAFSA but I was wondering what else (if anything) needs to be done to recieve a Pell Grant. Is there any follow-up information or application needed? My EFC was zero so I'm assuming I qualify for one....</p>
<p>You didn't say, but I assume you sent the FAFSA to the right school. If so, there is nothing else you have to do, but why take my word for it on something so important? Maybe you should call the FA office just to make sure.</p>
<p>I didn't do anything more than what the schools asked me to and I received a Pell Grant, but I'd check with the schools if you're concerned about it.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you both.</p>
<p>The school will include it in the award package and they are responsible for the paperwork. The $$ goes to them.</p>
<p>Wether or not you are eligible for a pell grant is based on your EFC. You will not have to do anything as far as applying for one.</p>
<p>fthe financial aid website may help give you a better understanding</p>

<p>Keep in mind that you may be eligible for "full Pell" or
"partial Pell." Some students get the full grant, others get a partial grant.</p>
<p>will the award letter include scholarships offered by the college?</p>
<p>will the award letter include scholarships offered by the college?</p>
<p>yes. (10 character rule is annoying)</p>
<p>I just want to make this clear - Pell grant is a maximumof $ 4500, right?</p>
<p>Or can it be more than that?</p>
<p>Depends on what Congress authorizes to spend. Right now, the maximum for 2004-2005 is $405o (this depends on your FM EFC, your load level [i.e. full-time, 3/4 time, 1/2 time], and the tuition amount of your school).</p>
<p>Congress has for many years "authorized" a much higher level of Pell Grant expenditure, but never funds the Pell to its maximum amount.</p>
