Financial Aid for returning adult student/transfer?

<p>I did file my FAFSA and have an EFC of 0. </p>

<p>When I originally attended school, my parents didn't know how to get financial aid other than the pell grant. At the time, I was in the 99th percentile in high school. I never took the SAT because the local community college didn't require it. I studied for 2 years at the local community college, but unfortunately do not have a degree because the classes I needed weren't often available so I took different classes to keep full time status. I have about 40 credits that would count towards an AA, but 64 credits total and a GPA of 3.26. My high school GPA was 4.0. I'm hoping to not have to continue my education at the local community college I originally attended as the same issue exists with class availability.
Because it has been 10 years since I attended college, some of my credits have expired as they were nursing credits. I should only have about 40 transferable credits. </p>

<p>Obviously there is a lot of high school freshman specific aid that I cannot receive because I didn't apply for it in high school. </p>

<p>I will be taking the SAT in May since most colleges will require it. On practice tests I'm only getting around an 1800 as there's quite a bit I have forgotten. </p>

<p>Any ideas for aid with the information I've submitted? I'm hoping to attend UCF if I can get in as a transfer student.</p>

<p>Your best plan would be to make an appointment with the transfer admissions officers at UCF. Bring in copies of all of your community college transcripts, and of your high school transcript. Ask them for specific advice based on your particular situation as an adult or “non-traditional” student. Then follow their recommendations. You may find that in your case the SAT isn’t needed at all.</p>

<p>While you are at UCF, pay a visit to the financial aid office. They will be able to tell you what types of aid are available for students in your situation.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
