If you are a dependent student, your assets would not be considered if your parent falls under either the Simplified Needs Test or Auto 0 EFC formulas. If you are an independent student with no dependents other than a spouse, you cannot qualify for Auto 0 … but you can qualify for SNT, which ignores assets.

Pell is an entitlement. Your EFC dictates your award amount.
