I intended to transfer to UT Austin this fall, and I was just absolutely counting on merit-based scholarships and grants to make attendance possible. I honestly didn't want to take out any loans to finance my undergrad. Well, I finally got my aid package yesterday (yes, in June) and I got $0.00 in scholarships. I'm not sure what to say or do anymore. I'm officially shut out of affordable choices this fall.
I'm a Texas resident, intend to major in engineering and my GPA is 4.00. What can I even do? I have money saved up but not nearly enough. Pretty much going to any public university in-state, I'm going to come out with over $50,000 in debt.
I've gone to speak with transfer adviser after transfer adviser for what I can do for scholarships and it's just literally falling apart here at the end. I've read all the guides here on CC that I can about financial aid, but pretty much all guides apply to high school seniors about to go into their freshman year of college. That doesn't exactly help me anymore. I've even read a lot of the transfer guides and from what I understand, financial aid for transfers is grim. I'm lost. Stuck. Any ideas?
