Pell Grant and 529?

You can get a Pell Grant if your FAFSA EFC says you are entitled to a Pell Grant.

So…does it?

Yes, if you qualify for auto $0 EFC or the simplified needs test, you don’t need to list assets.

Someone else here can link the formula for the 2021-2022 FAFSA and you can run it by hand to see if you have a low enough EFC. IIRC, it needs to be $6000 or so…less. You only get the full Pell amount if your EFC is close to $0.
