The pell grant is a federal grant, not a state grant. It is completely based on your EFC and would be the same amount of Pell at any school you go to (whether the school costs $5,000 or $50,000). The max Pell is $5,550 but that requires a 0 EFC. If you are getting $2790 Pell then I am guessing your EFC is around 2700-2800. You cannot get more pell than your EFC makes you eligible for.
