In florida, what is the maximum you can make for them to consider granting the pell grant? I make only $10K a year, i'm just worried they wont accept it and i'll be stuck getting a loan :(
The formula that calculates your EFC on the FAFSA does not look at income alone, so there is no real cut-off you can look at and say "I made enough to qualify". If you are single, independent making about 10k with no other investments you probably still don't qualify, and if you do, for only a small amount. You really have to make squat to qualify, or have more in your household, and possibly more in the house in college. That helps.
File your FAFSA. It will tell you if you qualify for a Pell or not. You can check with the financial aid office as to how much once you know.
