<p>Bob…it might matter. Emory is a Profile school…so eligibility for institutional aid uses the Profile info. It sounds like this family was counting on that Pell grant to cover some costs. It is very possible that the family contribution computed via Profile was well above $0.</p>
<p>But if the FAFSA EFC remains $0, the student would still get the Pell regardless of the computations for institutional need based aid via Profile.</p>
