Financial Aid/Work-Study

<p>So I got a Work Study offer today with my other Fin Aid. I was wondering if anyone ever heard of a case where a student wasn't able to find a job or if everyone who was offered this work study is assured one of the allotted jobs?</p>

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I found this on the financial aid website:</p>

<p>"Is a FWSP job hard to get?</p>

<p>No! If you receive FWS you are guaranteed a job. If you have trouble locating a job after reviewing the online job listing, contact the Office of Financial Aid and we will assist you in finding an open position."</p>

<p>I got a work study as well, so this is good news for us!</p>

<p>could a student get a job on campus even wihtout work study?</p>

<p>^ I hope so. I had an EFC of 0 (single parent home with 2 children), and I didn’t get one =/</p>

<p>do you guys think it’s too late to sign up for a work study? how do these things work??? do you think it’s a good idea to participate in a work study or just find a normal job?</p>

<p>From what I’ve read, they’re supposed to offer them to you. However, I haven’t had any of my friends receive a work-study offering. I’m beginning to wonder if they just haven’t added that to any of the freshmen’s aid packages.</p>

<p>I’m a freshman – I got my work study when the package came thursday.</p>

<p>On your FAFSA there’s this question asking if you are interested in work-study. I think they probably offer school jobs to work-study students first and then other students first. </p>

<p>Tina92, call financial aid like pronto and see. I’ve already sent out emails to like everyone on the employee list and have scheduled tentative interviews. So things are definitely limited.</p>
