My family doesn’t qualify for federal pell grant from FASFA, I am a accepted transfer for fall 2016. Does the fact that I pay rent and live on my own effect any aid I can receive? My family supports 6 other family members, and they make a little over $100,000 but have 4 dependent children all under 16. I am also instate with tuition. I really want to go here, but don’t know if i can afford it. can someone help/ give me advice what to do financially.
