Will I get no money from FAFSA?

I had to change my information from earning $8,000 to $12,760 (because my W2 forms arrived) and my parents info. from $65,000 to $50,000.

It used say that my estimated Pell Grant award was like $4,500 and some amount of loan money, but after I changed my information it only told me the amount of loan money but nothing about a the Pell Grant.

Will I receive no money? It sucks because I won't have nearly the same amount of time to work as I did last year. ;(

    a student in a family of 4 with household income of $30,000 does not get pell grant ---- pell grant funds are for students from families living at or below poverty level

    with your parents making $65,000 - $70,000 & you making $12,000 (or even $8,000) then you are way above poverty

    also, FYI, students who are not required to file their parents income (let say for example you were 25 years old) who are single with no dependents & had income of $12,000 also would not get any pell grant funding because their income is over the poverty level for a 1 person household

    You won't get any pell grant money with that income. You'll still get loans based on your year in school.
