In my financial aid package, I have $3000 in work study funds. To current or past students from NYU, how difficult is it to find a work study position as a freshman? Also will I still be able to work the same position after earning $3000?
My understanding is that you don’t even have to do the program if you can make better money at a job off campus. They basically have $3,000 ear-marked for you - whether you earn it or not is up to you. In London, my daughter’s friend had work study - but there were NO jobs at the NYU London campus - so they just cut her a check and called it a “one time academic scholarship” - not bad! In NYC there are lots of jobs but it’s also competitive. You may be better off-campus getting PT job.
