<p>since you will be a transfer student, your financial options may be limited.</p>
<p>1) Talk to your parents about how much they can contribute. Try to get a figure.</p>
<p>2) What state are you in?</p>
<p>3) What state schools can you commute to?</p>
<p>4) Have you ever taken the SAT or ACT?</p>
<p>5) Have your parents use an online FAFSA calculator to determine your likely EFC.<br>
If your family earns over $80k per year, your EFC may be something like $13k-20k depending on assets and family size.</p>
<p>6) If the amount that your family can pay is less than what your EFC will be, that will be a problem. Scholarships will not reduce your EFC unless you go to a school that costs less than your EFC or you get such huge scholarships that the $ covers all of need and cuts into EFC…not likely as a transfer student.</p>
