<p>holy crap you guys got a lot of money. Is this because of penn's new "no-loan" financial aid policy? upenn_rocks, i would suspect that your $3000+ in workstudy is due to the aforementioned policy. When they say you need to work that much, it's really a privelege. You can choose to work up to that amount, and what you earn goes straight to your bank account so you can spend it on your own personal expenses. I worked around 10 hours a week here and had only $2100 of eligibility used up. Workstudy rocks cuz there's no fed income tax</p>
