<p>I recently got awarded a pell grant. However, My wife decided to start school this year as well. If she files for student aid would that affect what I just was awarded</p>
<p>You can each get a Pell grant (assuming you are both undergrads enrolled at least half time in eligible programs). You may actually be eligible for more individual Pell than you currently get. The EFC formula changes some allowances when both are in school at the same time, so you current EFC will not be halved as you might expect with 2 in school, but it will likely go down a little causing you Pell to increase a little.</p>
