What's considered Low-income?

<p>Like for example for a family of 6 with both parents making around 40,000 to 43,000 considered low income??</p>

<p>Bump bump bump bump</p>

<p>What do you mean low income? Is there some place you read “low income boost for admission”? To those of us on CC is may mean an EFC of 0 meaning you qualify for a full Pell Grant. But why are you asking this question? What are you really trying to get at?</p>

<p>What really matters is whether the net price after applying financial aid is affordable to you at each college.</p>

<p>Assuming you are looking for colleges to apply to, you can check the net price calculators on their web sites to get financial aid estimates.</p>

<p>I would consider that low income but, it depends on the college. Some say under 40,000 or 40,000-50,000. Check with colleges that you want to apply to.</p>
