<p>suppose my work study is $3,500</p>

<p>and i decide to take 2 work study jobs
job A pays 13.00 and asks for a YEARLONG COMMITMENT
job B pays 12.00 and asks for a YEARLONG COMMITMENT</p>

<p>and each job requires only 6 hrs per week but i can do more hours if i want as long as i don't exceed a combined 20hrs.</p>

<p>if I earn $3,500 before fall semester ends, am i forced to quit my job right away? after fall semester actually ends? am i allowed to continue with these work study jobs in spring semester? will i still earn money from these work study jobs???</p>

<p>answers to any of my question will be very much appreciated
thanks</p>

<p>i don't think anyone here would know the exact answers to your questions. your best bet would be to call the office of FA and ask them.</p>

<p>Work study is split up for fall and spring. You cant exceed 1750 in fall, and 1750 in spring. Depending on the employer, you may or may not be forced to leave. Most likely you will need to leave beause they will need to pay your entire wages after your work study ends and they probably wont want to do that.</p>

<p>adamboy87, you got it half correct. the workstudy fund is split in half in fall and half and spring, but as far as workstudy is concerned you can earn use all your funds in one semester (you CAN exceed 1750 per semester).</p>

<p>what adamboy87 says next is true: your employer may or may not dismiss you after your funds are used up. in this case, convert your subsidized loans to workstudy.</p>

<p>unlimitedx- what do you mean by "you can earn use all your funds in one semester"</p>

<p>He means that instead of half of the 3500, you can use all of the 3500. Thanks for the correction unlimitedx.</p>
