Pell Grants are like $5k a year max. $450/month max is not a lot for someone who doesn't have time to work a job.

The only time you don't have time to work is during the season, August-December. Plenty of time to work in January-July.

I worked part time January-April and 80 hours a week for a minor league baseball team May-July. Lots of other guys did too.
