There is not percise answer for anyone because it all depends on what your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is when completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). When your FAFSA is calculated it takes into account your income, your parents income (if a dependent) or spouse's income (if married), any savings/assets, any government subsidies that are received, any business that is owned, etc. These are different for everyone. If you end up having an EFC of less than 4111 (for the 0708 school year) then you may be eligible for a Pell Grant. If you are eligible for a Pell Grant you may be further eligible for an ACG/SMART grant. If you are going to school now, talk to a financial aid officer there for more information. Good luck!
