@Yankeefan20, I understand that you need money to pay for school when you transfer. You’ll get better help if you create a thread with your specific information (major, budget, stats) instead of asking random questions on other student’s threads.

A quick Google search would tell you the grants OP is talking about are for freshmen, not transfers. Penn State costs $50k/year. They do have a ~$6k/year grant that NJ residents can apply for, but even if you got it that and your Pell Grant wouldn’t cover the $15k room and board. And you’d still have a ~$36k/year gap for tuition.

If you want help finding some affordable options, please create your own thread. There are plenty of people on this site who can help you.
