Your school has to give you the Pell grant if you qualify for it. It’s a nice problem to have. We had grad students who filed a FAFSA to qualify for work study and ended up with an institutional grant. Some had parents or grandparents paying for school and felt bad taking the money. I told them that if their parents also felt that way, they could donate the grant money to the school for scholarships (and get a tax write-off).
