If you take a gap year…and do NOT take college classes…you will be applying as a freshman for fall 2018. The best merit awards go to incoming freshmen. Not to transfers or continuing students.

If your family is poor, you also need to look at whether your state has any grants for low income students.

What was your FAFSA EFC this year? Was it less than $5000?

Did you receive any need based financial aid from the colleges to which you applied?
