Are you allowed to work while recieving financial aid (college)?
How Can they revoke your financial aid? What are the rules regarding working and recieving aid from Fafsa?

Yes, you can definitely work, either part-time or full-time. No they cannot change your financial aid for that year for working.
BE CAREFUL THOUGH!!! If you work too much and earn too much money, you might not qualify the following year and/or you might receive less money. It's tricky, the more you earn, the less money you potentially can get for the FOLLOWING YEAR if you re-apply for financial aid.
Don't worry too much though. Working part-time is okay. Unless you work 40+ hours a week...you should be fine.

There is no law that says you can not work full time and lose your financial aid.. If you were born past 1982 and you are not married nor have children, then your financial aid is SOLELY based on your parent(s) or guardians income...
You can actually receive FAFSA up to earning 64,800 dollars a year.
It is provided simply to make sure that everyone can go to college, not just people who have no money.
You can work anywhere, for any wage... Most of the time you can do WORK STUDY through financial aid, and get paid by the school, but this is part-time.
Hope I helped!

A lot of students work either part time or full time and still get some help from Financial Aid. Some schools offer a work study program.

Sure. If they've done the work, put in the effort, are academically qualified and are residents of the state then they should get the education they've earned. Their parents pay the sales and property taxes that pay for the ed systems. These kids you're asking about were brought here as infants and children and, for all intents and purposes, are "from here". Why not label someone brought to California from Minnesota when they were an infant a non-resident, too? As a member of a long-time CA family, I wouldn't mind seeing all the out-of-staters treated like the foreign colonists they are. We had a nice state until it filled up with Mid-Westerners and Southerners. What's not fair is letting an all-American slacker who spends more time demanding what's due him that he hasn't earned than reading get the financial aid that should be given according to academic merit.

Yes, many students work part time or full time while attending college. My brother was one of them who went for his MBA while working online and receiving financial aid. However, your income will count at a higher percentage rate than your parents' income. If you life on campus, you might want to apply for the work study program which will work around your schedule. I have included some readings to help you on this. Good luck!
