These schools gave him those merit awards based on his high school record which didn’t include two failed courses. Colleges look for how successful a student was in his college courses for transfer students. In my opinion, two failed courses does not look like a successful student.

Plus…he is a transfer student and many (if not most) colleges don’t give much merit aid to transfer students anyway. So…to get merit at a school that doesn’t give much….this would need to be a tippy top student.

You mention two community colleges. Are these affordable for your family? Your son would be able to get a Direct Loan…assuming he met the satisfactory academic progress bar at these colleges (with two failed courses, you would need to check the schools to see if he has met their SAP requirement)…and was a matriculated student.
