<p>So I just recently received a 1k scholarship, so I was wondering what will be reduced first by the FA, scholarship or work study? From what I heard, work study tends to be the first in line, then loans.</p>

<p>However, I also heard that you can convert subsidized loans to work study. So technically, even if they lower my work study, I can still convert my subsidized loans to work study so that it will cover up the reduced portion from the scholarship?</p>

<p>I'm mainly asking this b/c I do want to get full work study with little loans as possible.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, subsidized loans can be converted to work study.</p>

<p>Is the converting process easy (as long as you don’t max out)? Or do you need to really convince the FA office that you need the conversion…</p>

<p>you can just do it online with mouse-clicking</p>
