<p>You make the money, you keep it. There are various kinds of work-study jobs. At my college, since they have an on-campus vet clinic, they have work-study positions in the kennel, which is where I work. Other work-study jobs might be working in the library or at admissions.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how rare it is, but most of the people I know at my school got work-study. My school’s a private college, though, so it may be more common to get work-study there (private colleges give out better financial aid).</p>
