Paying for College
1

<p>Like how much we will earn in the summer of 2007 and during the 07-08 school year? I mean, how the heck are we supposed to now? Is it better to guess that I WILL be working (I don't have a job now) or that I won't work (but I want to find a job, but what if I can't?). Help please!</p>

<p>And does work study count as "the total amount you will earn in wages, salaries, tips, etc. during the 2007-2008 school year. (9 months)"?</p>

<p>Estimate low. You'll be expected to contribute a minimum of $1,550 to the EFC -- that minimum contribution from work will apply so long as your income remains below $3,357. So consider that a max figure for the year if you'll be working. Check the instructions for each question to be sure, but work study earnings shouldn't be included here.</p>
