<p>I noticed my bill for 2010-11 and the Pell grant is listed as 3500. I seem to recall my EFC being under 3k, I think.</p>

<p>To get the maximum Pell, your EFC has to be $0.</p>

<p>Hmmm… I think the maximum Pell is about $5200 (Kelsmom and Swimcatsmom know the exact number…it’s close to that).</p>

<p>I believe the max Pell is $5550 for EFC 0</p>

<p>For EFC 3000, the award is…$2600</p>

<p>Of course, these amounts are split among semesters or quarters.</p>

<p>You can check your SAR but a Pell grant of $3500 would indicate your EFC is between $2K and $2100. For every increase above 0-100 there’s seems to be an offset to Pell, in $100 increments:
