I want a Pell Grant. But I got a ACG. How do I get a Pell Grant? I want more money.?

Question

I filled out the FAFSA and they said I am eligible for an ACG (Academic Competitiveness Grant).

My mother's income is under $20000 yet I get the crappy ACG $750 a year grant..

How do I get the Pell Grant????? $750 is nothing.

Why does FAFSA suck?

Answer 1

well u should get the pell grant b/c i thought you could only get ACG if you received a pell grant too. at least that is what my finaid award says. So i would suggest calling your finaid office as soon as you can and see whats going on.

Answer 2

The FAFSA is the application for the Pell grant.  If they didn't offer it to you, you probably don't qualify.  Check with your school to be sure.
