Can you get federal pell grant with only one parent?

Is it possible to receive the federal pell grant if I only have one parent on my fafsa application? My mom passed away a few years ago. I am 21 and currently do not have a job. My Dad makes less than $40,000 a year.Can you get federal pell grant with only one parent?
Yes, you can. But you and your family has to be considered financially needy. 40K a year isn't always needy depending on your family situation. Be prepared for loans only, and if you happen to qualify for the Pell, be pleasantly surprised and grateful!
