<p>How easy is it? I recently got my work study reduced because of a reported scholarship. I heard that converting unsub loans to work study can simply be done quickly via online. Is that true? </p>
<p>Many thanks in advance!</p>
<p>yes its on bearfacts</p>
<p>So it’s that easy then? No need to contact the finaid office to explain why I want to convert loans to work study at all then?</p>
<p>nope! 
its easier for them too… so they already get so flooded with phone calls/visits from students about other finaid stuff</p>
<p>Wow how awesome :D! Was a bit nervous when they decided to reduce work study before loans, but im fine with it now :D! Is there a limit to how much you can convert?</p>
<p>$4000 max for work study… you can only convert it up to 3 or 4 times a year</p>
<p>I thought you could only use subsidized loans for work study.</p>
<p>Ops, I meant subsidized, sorry :P! </p>
<p>@starmia, so I will receive 3.3k Work Study + 4k Sub Loans for this school year. That mean only $700 of the sub loan can be covert to work study right?</p>
<p>yea i think so… 4k is more than enough if you get a job $10/hr and work for 10 hrs a week</p>
<p>So $4k Work Study is workable right? I truly want to use up all the work study amount since that will probably mean I have to take out 0 loans :p!</p>
