<p>Emory can do whatever it wants to determine your EFC for institutional purposes, but the FAFSA EFC is what determines eligibility for federal aid … including Pell. They must have made adjustments to basic FAFSA info. Ask about that to make sure it is correct. Often, business owners will get Pell but not institutional aid. You should be getting Pell if the FAFSA EFC is 0. Maybe you entered something incorrectly & Emory made the adjustment (as they must). They should be able to tell you what change(s) they made.</p>
