Hi so I was just accepted into UTA and I asked them about my financial aid and apparently since I wasn’t accepted earlier in the year I couldn’t file my TEXAS GRANT application with the college??? So I have is my FAFSA aid and this college is over 23k
I’ve applied about 12 scholarships
3 still waiting
9 declined
[/QUOTE]
And my family’s income is really low especially for sending three kids off to college all at once!!!
WHAT CAN I DO PLEASE ???
??
What is your FAFSA EFC?
Are you a transfer student?
If not, did you come off a waitlist?
What are the rules for applying for Texas grants?
What is in your FA pkg?
(In the future, please avoid obnoxious punctuation, thanks)
You apply for the TEXAS Grant when you complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or other application as required by your college’s financial aid office. Funding is limited, so you need to submit your application as soon as possible after January 1 of your senior year. The financial aid office at each college and university will determine if TEXAS Grant is part of the aid package that is offered to you.
So if you don’t get any award from the school and they don’t have Texas grants left, you would only have FAFSA and loans unless the outside scholarships come through.
You will have to apply to a school you can afford. Did you get into any school you can afford this year?
@mom2collegekids EFC IS 000000? (No clue what that really means?)
no not a transfer student still a highschool senior
I appealed my admission and they finally accepted me
Declined March 24th |||Accepted May 1st
Texas
they said that I won’t be awarded till next week or so.
TEXAS grant application deadline was April 1st. Even though at that point I wasn’t admitted.

how would you apply for a TEXAS grant? If it’s in the FAFSA package
UNT and SFA
I’m still deciding schools hopefully I can get the emerald eagles award then I’ll go to UNT but my mom wants me to stay close
community college isn’t an option sadly. traditional household rules or find a new house with new rules.

Semmys, I hate to say this, but your posts here are not making any sense.
Did you apply for Texas financial aid? Have you received an award from the school yet?
When did you complete ALL of your financial aid application forms?
You’re supposed to apply for aid BEFORE acceptances come out. Did you do that?

You need to find out if there is an appeal process. But, you were supposed to apply before acceptance.
