<p>Does anybody know much about the work study program? I looked at everything on UW.edu.
I'm wondering if it pays for 20-50% of your tuition and you get paid on top of that? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I believe that the financial aid office just allocates a certain amount of money that you will be able to earn doing something for the U or an outside organization. It might be several hundred dollars or thousands, depending on your need.</p>
<p>Depending on the amount they give you and the pay rate of your job, you will have to work from a couple hours a week to a dozen (or even more probably). </p>
<p>You will get your paycheck just like a regular employee, but it supposedly should go towards your tuition and other related expenses. But eventually you decide.</p>
