Work study is not mandatory but is jobs that you can do on campus. Some jobs are the same as out jobs you get paid for the job. The money that you earn form work is your money you can spend it any way you want to. Just like you would if was working at Wal-Mart or some wheres.

it's yours to keep.
The gov. pays something like 75% percent of your wages. You're employers pay you the rest. I actually got a raise from my work because I was selected for work-study.
The amount of money you were awarded in work-study is the maximum amount you can make that the gov. will pay your wages for. After that, your employer pays your full wages.
Next year, when you fill out your fafsa, the money you made in work study will not be counted against you. You will get more aid.

flow to a greater low-fee college. Do you particularly *choose* to flow to a school in manhattan? No. there are 1000's of faculties around usa of america and rather some basically as good--or better--than a brand manhattan college yet plenty much less greater low-fee. Your corporation could no longer care the place you got here from, he's going to care what you acquire out of the journey. except you're entering right into a occupation it is envisioned to pay rather nicely you are going to could set your factors of interest decrease or drown in debt, exceptionally this late in the sport the place many scholarships have ended. in the experience that your mothers and dads can arise with the money for to offer you 13k then you particularly're possibly unlikely to get plenty in the way of financial help the two.

You have the option. I would fill out the form because you will recieve a lump sum depending on what the college determines. If you only work l hr a week you will still retain the money.The money you get for work study can be applied to your loan or you can keep it for spending money. My daughters applied for work study and one gets 1,800 a year and the other one gets 1600. ONe works 10 hrs per week, and the other one has more free time and puts in up to 30 hrs. a week. They keep their money and use it for clothes, books, etc. ONe works in admissions and does her homework, and the other one works in the library and does her homework. You won't be killing yourself and it's free money.

I am pretty sure that the work study is simply another way to get more financial aid or scholarship. You do not need to use to pay back financial aid. If your financial aid is a grant and not a loan, it is yours as long as you do not drop out and you are supposed to use it towards your school needs. But overall it is yours and does not need to be repaid. If it is a loan and you had to sign a promisary not it does have to be repaid
