<p>My work-study in my FinAid said the status is "offered". what does that mean?
Does it have to be confirmed? there wasn't any choice though.. </p>
<p>I went to the job listings but it said i am not eligible for work-study yet..
what does that mean?
And when do have to apply for jobs? like like resume and cover letter? do we have to start now?</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>^ Not sure about the other questions, but you can apply for jobs at any point in the semester.</p>
<p>So basically, they give you an amount for work-study. Let’s say $1000. If you get a job, you’ll get the $1000 (or less) work-study money (which is half-paid by job, half-paid by Berkeley???). If you don’t get the job, then you don’t get any money from work-study.</p>
<p>Also, the work study amount (let’s say $1000 again) is for the whole year. You can make $50 one semester and $950 another semester. Or like $0 in the fall and $1000 in the spring.</p>
<p>Thank you 
I was offered $4000 for work-study and it says “offered”
and i went to the job-listing and logged in with my calnetID but it says i am not eligible for work-study… does it take time to confirm my status?</p>
<p>i also had a question about this too. if i need to convert my loan to work study, should i do it now or when and if i get the job?</p>
<p>AHopeful2014, are you sure you’re logging in via the students link and not the employer link? You might wanna get it checked out because I can log in.</p>
<p>Batman, you should probably convert before the loan goes through into CARS. …</p>
<p>Thanks for the answers guys.
Arduouspallor, i can log in, but it says i dont have work-study.
Is it because it says “offered” in my FinAid? does your work study status stated “offered” also instead of confirmed?</p>
<p>I think it’s because your work-study is only “offered.” You might need to “accept” it on the FinAid site?</p>
<p>Thank you weebly they didnt give me any option though. it just says “offered” on my FinAid site and i can’t do anything about that…</p>
<p>I would call the finaid office. All work study is “offered” because getting the money depends on if you get a job or not.</p>
<p>i got it all worked thanx guys :)</p>
<p>you got a job??? >.></p>
