4 These guidelines reflect an income level that will generate an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of approximately $1,500 on the FAFSA. For dependent applicants, this contribution is based solely on the parental income and does not take into account any parental assets nor does it assume any contribution from the student's income or assets. Moreover, this is based on having only one student enrolled in college at the time. For independent applicants, the EFC contribution is based strictly on income with no consideration of available savings or other assets. However, the income levels and EFC amounts above are guidelines only and not limits. Some campuses consider all Pell-grant eligible EOP applicants while others rely more on the FAFSA EFC. So, if you re close, still apply. In addition, because of the simplified nature of the income guidelines, it is possible that applicants who satisfy the preliminary income screening for EOP may not demonstrate need for purposes of student financial aid program eligibility.
