<p>The point I am trying to make is that a family earning the median household income in the US of 53,046 could easily have an efc of 5080. An efc of 5080 qualifies for a Pell grant. I thought Pell grant recipients are considered poor. If that is the case, then the average household income family is considered poor. How could the median household income family be the median and poor at the same time? </p>
<p>Sorry, if I was not clear.</p>
