Schools that are financially generous toward transfers?

I’m from Illinois. I know about the net price calculators but I don’t know really how much my family makes and such, I just know we’re middle class but we won’t show much income this year because my mom was out of work for months even before the coronavirus. My current school there’s not really any need based scholarships and the financial aid department is hard to deal with. How about any schools that are good with students experiencing hardship?

All I know is after scholarships from my current school which is a private school was $30,000 a year which is too much. I transferred from cc with a pretty bad gpa so I was hoping now that I have a higher gpa I can receive more aid.

You have to work with your parents to understand what your budget is. Your FAFSA for this upcoming school year will be based on 2018 financials. If your family’s situation has changed you would have to ask for professional judgment…basically a review of your situation. But first you have to fill out your app and be accepted. Have you asked your current school to review your situation based on your mom’s job loss?

What 4 year public schools in Illinois can you commute to? UIC? NIU? ISU? UIUC?

What are you referring to when you say real estate program? A real estate major? What are your career goals?
