Do I get to keep my work study job?

Paying for College

<p>Hey guys! Last year I received work study on my financial aid package so I was able to obtain an on-campus job with it, but this year I didn't get work study. I'm guessing it may be because my parents' income has actually gone up over the past year, so I was eligible for less aid.</p>

<p>However, even though it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I lost my job, I was just wondering whether or not this now means I'm ineligible to continue working there. I should probably call the FA office at my school and ask, but they can be a little bit frustrating to deal with sometimes so I'll start here. Thanks!</p>

<p>Ask your employer at the college. If your job is funded ONLY with work study funds, it’s likely it will need to be filled with a W-S recipient. However, some on campus jobs are also funded with university funds…ask…they will be able to tell you whether you can continue this job without a W-S award.</p>

<p>You might also see if you have any loan availability, sometimes they can be interchangeable, so the finaid office could transfer an amount of available loan to be WS</p>
