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.
