The grant money may go up to a maximum of $4000 per year but may vary depending on the financial requirement of the applicant. The federal government provides 75% of the grant money and the rest is born by the school where the student is studying. The deciding factor for award of this grant is the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Number and therefore only those with lowest number are chosen for the award of grant. It is better to keep in mind the following useful tips while preparing for the grant.

1. If there is too much personal income from stocks or bond investmens, these may be temporarily transferred to the grand parents till the duration of the course.
2. To reduce the bank balance, make all big purchases before filling out FAFSA application
3. Retirement plan amount may be maximized to reduce current savings.
4. There is an increase in grant money if the number of members from the same house is more than one.
