You will have a hard time finding a grant to cover your entire education. Your only options are scholarship and, more than likely, loans. Sorry!

The Pell Grant is based on your income from last year’s tax return. For example, the FAFSA form for the fall 2007 semester would be based on your 2006 income tax return. Once completed, you would be given an EFC score which would decide on how much on qualifying for the Pell Grant. Afterwards, you would receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) and would give you a rough approximation of your benefits. Finally, the school would get back to you on your financial aid package which would include need based scholarships from its endowment fund, student loans, and campus work study program. I would not panic about paying for college until you got the financial aid letter/report from your school. Some schools do reward transfer students with a great GPA. You could also apply for outside scholarships, too. I will include some free reources to find funding for college below. Good luck!
