<p>i was granted work study.
is work study much better than just getting a regular job on or off campus?
and if you have any comments about work study please post them.
thankk you</p>
<p>jobs off campus pay more, there are more work-study than casual jobs on campus because the government pays half the wage for work study jobs, so departments are obviously happier paying half wage.</p>
<p>does the money you make from work study automatically go toward paying your tuition or do you yourself get a pay check?</p>
<p>Isn't work-study income also tax-exempt? It likely won't matter, but if you have a lucrative summer job, it makes a difference there.</p>
