How exactly do you apply for a Pell Grant?

After doing my FAFSA, it said I was eligible but... I talked to the financial aid representative at school and they only gave me an application for a parent loan I believe... So, where and how do I apply?

    Check with a financial aid adviser at your school again regarding the financial aid award package they have offered you.

    After you read your SAR (Student Aid Report), you still need to wait to learn from the school you will be attending (which you indicated with the school Federal School Code on your FAFSA) what financial aid awards they are offering you. The Pell Grant funds are available only to students with low family household incomes - US poverty level for the entire household.

    The FAFSA is the form that is used to determine if a student is eligible for Pell Grant funds. You will probably also be offered Federal subsidized and unsubsidized student loans.

    you do your fafsa, and sometimes a finacial aid application from the school, as well as providing needed documents for verification, which the school will determine after the see the info on your fafsa. Either call the school or go on their website to see what the process is.
