<p>Can anyone tell me if it is possible for one school to award a Pell Grant and another school NOT award a Pell Grant? Are there different methodologies for different schools?</p>
<p>i don't think that is possible...i believe the pell grant is a federal entitlement to the student based on their family income</p>
<p>well...if school A is more expensive and you recieve little scholarship...you might get a pell grant depending on family income....but at school B, EOC might be lower and you might earn a lot more scholarships...so you might not see pell grant coming from this school</p>
<p>it just depends on family income, scholarships you earn, EOC, and just the school in general</p>
<p>Actually, the Pell amount you are eligible for is a fixed amount based on your EFC. However, is school A has only FAFSA info, and School B has your taxes, or your Profile, they could change your EFC. </p>
<p>Two schools using the same information must come up with the exact same Pell amount. It's possible one school is using more accurate or recent info.</p>
<p>It seems like federal pell grant give so little money compare to college's grant.</p>

<p>That's because the Federal Pell Grant has a maximum amount of aid. I believe the current amount is still at $4,050. For instance, the way your grant is calculated is ($4050) - (YOUR EFC). If your EFC is $2500, you will receive a maximum amount of $1550 in the form of a Pell Grant.</p>
