Family Path — Step 1
Preliminary eligibility screening
Answer a few questions about your student and household. This is a preliminary, educational screening — not an application and not a guarantee of eligibility or funding.
Your preliminary result
Choose your state and county, then enter your household size and prior-year income. We look up the published FY2026 income limit for your area and compare your income to the 300% AMGI ceiling for a household your size.
Student and household
Eligibility generally depends on whether household income exceeds 300% of the applicable area median gross income.
We collect ranges rather than exact figures at this stage. Household financial information is never displayed publicly.
