<p>I got 3k workstudy total (1.5k winter and 1.5k fall). How many hours a week do you think I'd have to work a week (this is assuming I attend Umich ann arbor)? I haven't looked at the jobs at umich yet.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if I can get the 3k limit increased? </p>
<p>Anyone who's already going to school, whats the most you've been able to make working while maintaining good grades?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Usually a school has a limit on work study, particularly for the freshman year. That does not mean you couldn't work another job, if you have time.</p>
<p>schools usually have limits on what they give to students. you could always get a second job that isn't work study to help you. Personally, I've always worked two jobs while in college, one work study and one not. Pulled off 35 hours a week one semester...wouldn't recommend that though...25 was the most I could ever really do without feeling dead at the end fo the day (that doesn't include travel time since I've always worked off campus)</p>
<p>$3000 is not bad</p>
<p>The most I can get for my first year of work-study is $900.
As for how many hours, check your school's financial aid website. Usually you get paid around minimum wage so if it's not listed, you can figure it out from that.</p>
