Show Answer I received a Federal Pell Grant last year, but the Financial Aid Office did not award a Pell this year. Why?
Unlike other sources of financial aid, Federal Pell Grants are not awarded by the Financial Aid Office. To qualify for a Pell Grant, the FAFSA Expected Family Contribution (EFC) must range between 0 and 4110 and the applicant must meet all other federal general eligibility criteria. First review the FAFSA result with tax documentation and worksheets to determine if the data was provided correctly. If correct, then compare the income, assets, family size, number in college, marital status, and filing status (dependent or independent) on both FAFSAs to identify the variables that changed.
