i'm trying to apply for a grant on my college (my first year) and one of the requirements says this "have family income at or below 100% of the federally-established poverty level"what does that mean? Please help me. Thanks.Thanks. But i still don't get how you determine that based on the "100%"But since you have answered this question, could you also help me answer the following question, too? please...This time, it's a different grant, it also says a similar thing but i still don't get how you determine it, so please bear with me. This is what it says: "Your expected family contribution (EFC) must be between 0 and 200% of the Pell Limit (see the following table)"Here's the table:Type of college -------- EFC = 0 -> Pell Limit----------------------------------------- (0 -> 4041)Technical College --------- $2000State University ------------ $5000Private ------------------------ $5000yes, i now understand how this works. It's so complicated but heck, you're a good explainer!
filling out fafsa and other financial aid applications for colleges are also painful. I just wish that there exists some organizations that help students to fill these out! I mean, i was like panic when i didn't know how to fill out these applications since... you know... it's a hell lot of money if one has to pay for the tuition without the funds and all.But anyway, thanks for helping! I'll be sure to pick your answer as the best answer but that has to be like 2 hours later since Yahoo! only allows questioners to pick best answers after 4 hours or so after the questions established. Thanks again! you're a great help!
