Cicy33, if you are newly divorced, you may have had to apply based on the combined income of yourself and your ex-spouse because the FFSA uses the last tax return info. If you reapply in the first year in which you are single, you might get approved for a Pell Grant. I think Pell Grants are not based only on what you make, but also on how much your school costs. Of course, the maximum Pell grant tops out quickly in relation to tuition. The grant amounts were last structured at a time when tuitions were lower. If it is an inexpensive school you are looking at, I would not be surprised if there is no Pell grant there for a single person with $30,000 income.
