Do I have to apply* to federal work study?

<p>Hi, I have a federal work study award in my financial aid. Am I only allowed to apply exclusively to federal work study jobs or can I apply to regular jobs and internships as well? Thank you all.</p>

<p>You can do whatever you want. You can get a work study plus an internship or another job if you want. No one cares. However, other jobs not associated w/work study will not pay you toward that. You are payed separate monies that don’t affect the work study limit (which is normally 1000 dollars per semester at most).</p>

<p>do they tend to run out of work study jobs?</p>

<p>no, because not everyone takes it and there are lots of workplaces that participate.</p>
