<p>I was awarded federal work study. I already accepted the award . Full amount is $4,500. When do I have to apply for a job.? Is there a deadline.? Can I apply in the spring.?</p>
<p>If you don’t work first semester the work study is offered, odds are they’ll drop it and you’ll never be offered the award again. Do yourself a favor and take full advantage of the award which will only require you to work about 10 hours/week at an easy job on campus. They publish a list of available jobs and I think you need to line a job up by the first week or so of semester. If you try to hold off until spring you may end up having the work study offer dropped completely.</p>
