What is the maximum income to be eligible for a Pell Grant?
There is no set income limit to qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. The federal government takes into account the age of your parents, the number of children living in your home, your savings, income taxes paid and in which state you reside. According to a 2005-2006 Department of Education study, the household income for Pell Grant recipients ranged from $6,000 to $60,000 per year.Source:The Pell Grant: Pell Grant Income RequirementsU.S. Department of Education: Federal Pell Grant ProgramU.S.
