There are really alot of things that determine the pell grant amount. Independent or not. Assets. But basically its aimed for students with incomes under 20k. This does not mean if you make 25k you will get nothing. Your contribution will be more.
The Pell grant is not the same as the FAFSA. The FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid and it is what you fill out to find out if you are eligible for federal financial aid, including the Pell grant.
The government site for Pell grant information is www2.ed.gov/programs/fpg. This should explain everything, but your best resource is the schools financial aid department. They should be able to walk you through the process.
