<p>What criteria does one usually need to meet in order to be approved for work study? Does it depend on the school? Thanks :)</p>
<p>Yes, it depends on the school. Most schools first use students who have need to fill those requirements, then other students.</p>
<p>First you must have financial need, as determined by COA less EFC, to be eligible for WS. After that it depends on the schools policies and how much WS funding they have. WS funding is limited. Her 1st 2 years my daughter was offered whatever grants she was eligible for, then the max in WS at her school ($3400), then loans.</p>
