<p>Is work study part of the financial aid package, or something completely separate? Can a student get a work study job if they don't get financial aid?</p>
<p>No, a student can't get work study unless they also get financial aid. However, they still may be able to find a nonworkstudy campus job.</p>
<p>Work study usually is part of need-based financial aid packages, which typically include loans, work study and grants (scholarships).</p>
<p>The way that Work Study is different from having any other job is that, while the income is taxable, it does not count against you (i.e. increase the student's income) for financial aid purposes. There is a place weher you subtract work study out of gross income on the FAFSA form.</p>
