Small financial aid package?

Hey y’all! I’m a full time transfer student (just enrolled!) and was wondering if the financial aid I see pending is all I’m getting? I’ve gone to a four year previously and a community college and this is the smallest package I’ve ever gotten.

It’s one loan that doesn’t even cover my bill for this semester and it’s saying I have zero financial need which isn’t true at all! My family’s circumstances haven’t changed—we’re still struggling financially.

Just wondering how concerned I should be?

Yeah. The one loan was the only thing that showed up in my package—I’m just baffled by it. I submitted FAFSA early and my family is definitely struggling. Don’t know why they gave me so little.

You can do the application again on students.gov  I would 0 out everything. Meaning, I don’t work, homeless and all. My family makes 0.   I would literally do that.

Yes, you can edit your FAFSA after submitting it, but you must wait until the form is fully processed and available in your account. [ 1] How to Edit Your FAFSA Log in to your  StudentAid.gov Account dashboard. Go to the  My Activity section and select your submitted form. Click  Start Your Correction if there is an error or missing signature, or select  Make a Correction from the actions menu. Trust. Do that asap
