<p>I am a bit unsure about how work study works…</p>
<p>My question is, if you get offered X ammount of money in work study, and you take a work study job, does that mean when you get all of your paychecks and add it all together at the end of the semester it will equal X ammount, or does it mean, you get X ammount in a grant and whatever you get in each paycheck.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey it’s like a normal job. You get the amount paid at the end of each of your work cycles and its just money you can spend on whatever you like - books, food, transportation, etc. It’s like a normal job. I think, I am also going to be a work-study student so that’s all I know about the process.</p>
<p>It’s money but the school expects you to contribute money in that amount to pay for school so you or your family comes up with it.</p>
<p>and you can’t make more than the amount of money you’re awarded. i.e. you can’t decide to work crazy overtime and make thousands more than you were given.</p>
