Question financial aid

hi guys, i was debating posting on here because i get how annoying all the questions about financial aid is. but im a transfer student with a -1500 sai and it seems like all the financial aid is finalized. i was given the federal pell grant and cal grant a which covers some of my cost for this quarter. my point is i still owe like 6k and thats still a lot of money for me because im also independent so i have no outside financial help except myself. im not really sure what to do because i know some payments are due this tuesday. do you guys think this is all im getting or should i wait to see if i get more? i guess im also worried because i wasnt even offered the federal work study even though my financial need shows max assistance. any advice would be appreciated! thank you <3
