As we explained in your other financial aid threads… as a transfer student with a $0 EFC you’re eligible for the ~$6k/year Pell Grant. You can also take the ~$6500/year federal student loan. Your GPA is too low to receive merit aid (transfers don’t generally get much anyway) so, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like you can afford to live on campus. However, the ~$11k you are eligible for looks like it would cover the tuition at the University of Houston. A 20 minute commute is very reasonable. Did you apply there?
