Financial safety colleges?

The OP doesn’t have any ACT or SAT scores yet, so it’s unknown how she will do on them. She has about a 3.3 GPA at some kind of non-traditional public school (it sounds like it might be a school for students that have fallen behind credits-wise or something like that).

the problem is that it’s unlikely that the OP will have the stats to get accepted at a full-need school.

Therefore, a financial safety for her will be…

A public U that she can commute to and pay for with Pell and any other state/fed help.

A community college that she could commute to.

Does anyone know how much aid (if any) the state of Texas provides for low income college students?
