Pell Grants..

Published

Does anyone know the income thresholds for pell grant?

I'm trying to figure out where I stand with earning money for the rest of the year.

I've racked google but can't find and numbers. I figured a legislative document would show this but it's impossible to find.

I'm just trying to figure out where I stand if I do get into the fall 09 program. Moving out.. bills.. etc.

This is an answer I got from wiki answers.

Pell Grant eligibility is based on financial need. Although students with family incomes up to $45,000 may be eligible, most awards go to students with family incomes below $20,000. You can receive your Pell Grant once you have accepted a financial aid offer from your school. Funds are usually available at the beginning of the semester or quarter.

Alot depends on if the government considers you to be a depent or independent student. I would start by going to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and follow the steps there. Hope this helps.
