Work Study: Working for Your Financial Aid
If you need financial assistance for school, the FAFSA is the place to start. Loans and grants are awarded based on your responses, but you can also opt for work-study monies. These are monies that you are allotted based on working a minimal number of hours for an office of your university. Work study is often a great alternative to loans, as you do not have to pay these monies back.
In order to be eligible for work-study programs, you must fill out a FAFSA. On the FAFSA, there is a question which asks if you are interested in work-study. Check yes. If, based on the FAFSA’s calculations, you are deemed eligible you will be contacted by your university’s work study office and given a list of potential jobs you can accept. Pick one that suits your needs and your schedule and get started!
Most work-study jobs are between fifteen to twenty hours per week and are arranged around your class schedule. This is not money you are given at the beginning of a quarter or semester, rather it is usually paid every two weeks like any other job. In order to receive these monies, you must go to work. Otherwise–just like any other job–you don’t get paid. So, make sure before you check yes to this option that you can commit to working.
Remember: Work-Study is a program through FAFSA in which you work 15-20 hours per week in exchange for monies that you don’t have to pay back. The monies are paid out every 2 weeks.
