I go to NYU and received $1500 a semester in work study. However, this semester I decided not to work since I am premed and don’t have time to work. How will this impact my financial aid? Will be all of a sudden expected to cough up $1500 out of pocket, or does it mean I will get less aid/no work study next semester?
Well…work study is a job and the earnings are paid to you. If you need that $1500 a semester to pay your college bills, it’s not going to suddenly materialize from no where if you didn’t get a job.
Your aid for next semester is already in your financial aid award.
