<p>If you're offered a work study when are you supposed to be applying for jobs? should I wait until the first week of school or was it already supposed to be done last semester? Also, is there a community service option and if so how does it work?</p>
<p>The earlier that you start applying, the more likely you are to find a work-study job with an opening. </p>
<p>Waiting until fall semester starts could mean you don’t find a work-study position in something you want (or, possibly, even at all).</p>
