In this video, we discuss the College Federal Work Study Programs Pros & Cons. Federal Work-Study provides part-time jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student’s course of study. Here’s a quick overview of Federal Work-Study. It provides part-time employment while you are enrolled in school. It’s available to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students with financial need. It’s available to full-time or part-time students. It’s administered by schools participating in the Federal Work-Study Program. Check with your school's financial aid office to find out if your school participates. The Federal Work-Study Program emphasizes employment in civic education and work related to your course of study whenever possible. If you work on campus, you’ll usually work for your school. If you work off campus, your employer will usually be a private nonprofit organization or a public agency, and the work performed must be in the public interest.
Some schools might have agreements with private for-profit employers for work-study jobs. These jobs must be relevant to your course of study (to the maximum extent possible). If you attend a proprietary school (i.e., a for-profit institution), there may be further restrictions on the types of jobs you can be assigned.

I'm confused. Let's say you get offered $3,000 for one semester in work study. If you do the math ($3000÷ 4 months ÷ 4 weeks in a month ÷ 20 hours a week...), you only get paid $9.36 per hour, assuming you can only work the required hours. Other than the possibility of having free time for homework, the convenience of it being on campus, and not having to commute, why is this better than simply taking a $12/hr job that allows you to to work 40 hours per week? It's borderline useless compared to a sectional payment plan UNLESS the workstudy does any sort of price matching. Otherwise, you're taking out a loan AND paying off a smaller loan, but you're doing a job that you can't entirely choose, with a chance of downtime, is part time and is only marginally better than minimum wage.

I am baffled. If my child was granted work study, why is she having to pay back during tax times? She has a small side job to help her out but she earned less than $13K. She was getting all of the taxes back until work study was put in. That is frustrating and wrong. Just does not seem worth it to get funding and have to pay it back.

Hello, I'm an undergrad student and I was recently awarded a work study of $8,613 (per semester) to work as an english tutor at an elementary school for $25/hour at a 10-20 hour per week minimum. I fully believe I am capable of doing this and that it fits my schedule, nevertheless, I would like to ask for your opinion on this award. What course of action should I take towards this award package? Do you feel I should appeal for a grant instead (note that I already receive pell grant)?

I was given an opportunity to apply for WS as a tutor. However, I was asked if I was interested in canceling my unaccepted loans in exchange for the program. Would it make any difference if I canceled my loans or not for WS?
@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820
@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820 3 года назад
Did they cancel your loans to make space in your budget to award you the work-study? I ask because with work-study it has to fit your budget for the college's Cost of Attendance.

Wait so you're telling me that since Im capped out at $800 per term, and id be making $15.50 an hour, I can only work a max of 50-60 hours per term? And then what? They're not obligated to pay me anymore? They'll terminate my job? I think its ridiculous, might as well get a off campus job for those students who actually need money

Not quite understanding the payout… so if my daughter accepted ($1500) and will work on campus, she will receive a check every 2 weeks, but I don’t understand how this helps towards tuition if essentially she’s just getting paid to work. How does this affect her tuition cost? Maybe I’m just lost 🤔

@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820 3 года назад
Federal work study is money the gov gives the colleges to employee students. If the school has institutional work programs this typically means the school is paying the students from the departments budget. Federal does not count against financial aid the other does since its like any other job.
