<p>if you do work study, what happens to the money? do we get to keep the money for personal spending?</p>
<p>The money you work for will be the same as if you work outside. They can either give you the check or disburse through your bank account. Preference is on you.</p>
<p>Its just like any other job, only difference is the federal gov’t pays a chunk of your salary. Money earned goes to you directly.</p>
<p>Even if you’re awarded lets say $1500 in workstudy, you still have to WORK for it. The $1500 just means its the max amount of money you can earn FROM workstudy jobs for the year.</p>
