college participates in the <a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.ed.gov\/sa\/types\/work-study\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">federal work-study program<\/a>. work study is part of the financial aid awarded to you when you fill out a <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/college-admissions\/fafsa-application-ultimate-guide\/\">fafsa application<\/a>, if you&#8217;re eligible. work-study funding offers undergraduate and graduate students a part-time job as a way of making money to pay for college expenses. so basically, work-study funding is money that is awarded to you, but you have to earn it through a job you apply for and get through your college.<\/p>\n<h2>work-study facts &#038; faqs<\/h2>\n<p>when deciding whether or not to do work-study it\u2019s super important to know exactly what the situation entails, what a work-study job will provide you, and what it will not. keep in mind that every college is different, but generally speaking, these are the facts about work-study positions, as explained through students\u2019 faqs. <\/p>\n<h3>how do i get a work-study job?<\/h3>\n<p>while the opportunity to do work-study is indeed an award, you won\u2019t just be assigned a job at the start of the school year. you\u2019ll still have to find and apply for a position. most colleges make this very easy by providing a user-friendly search database of all the available positions.<\/p>\n<h3>how do i receive the money?<\/h3>\n<p>unlike the rest of your financial aid money&#8211;for example, scholarships and loans&#8211;which is applied directly to your tuition or awarded directly to you to pay for it, you\u2019ll have to <strong>earn<\/strong> your work-study money. essentially, when you\u2019re awarded work-study funding, you\u2019re awarded a \u201cdibs\u201d of sorts on a job at your college that will pay you directly. you\u2019ll receive a check from your work-study employer, and you can use this money to pay for college-related living expenses such as textbooks or food.<\/p>\n<h3>how is a work-study job different from a regular job?<\/h3>\n<p>besides being awarded to you and likely being on-campus, it\u2019s really not. non-work-study jobs also pay you directly and you\u2019re able to use the money at your discretion. the major difference is that a work-study job because it was awarded to you as part of your financial assistance, comes with a bit more of a guarantee. many students want on-campus jobs but if you\u2019re awarded work-study funding, you\u2019ll be given priority when applying for work-study jobs.<\/p>\n<h3>how much work-study money will i get, and how many hours will i have to work?<\/h3>\n<p>first, you\u2019ll need to consider the total amount you\u2019re awarded by your college for the year. this varies, but many colleges award $3,000-$5,000 a school year, sometimes more, sometimes less. almost all work-study jobs guarantee the hourly minimum wage, sometimes more, paying about $8.00 an hour on average. workload and hours can vary quite a bit, usually falling somewhere between 10-20 hours a week. this can usually be negotiated with your employer. <\/p>\n<p>now, does this mean that once you\u2019ve earned the amount awarded to you that you\u2019ll hit a \u201ccap\u201d and be unable to work anymore? not necessarily. many employers often extend the number of hours you\u2019re able to work. this, however, is not guaranteed and is handled on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n<h3>am i guaranteed a work-study job?<\/h3>\n<p>this is tricky. in theory, yes. in practice, no. depending on where you attend college and how many students are awarded work-study opportunities, jobs may be limited. you may have to apply for a while or accept a job that isn\u2019t necessarily your first choice. that said, don\u2019t worry! colleges typically go above and beyond in helping you secure a work-study job if you need one. <\/p>\n<p>another noteworthy point: just because you were awarded work-study this year doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you will be next year. fluctuating factors such as your or your parents\u2019 income will determine whether or not you\u2019re eligible<\/p>\n<h3>what kinds of work-study jobs can i apply for?<\/h3>\n<p>all kinds! there&#8217;s usually a wide range of positions in various departments. you could apply to work in a dorm, science lab, recreation center, daycare, etc. since you\u2019re not assigned a job, you can apply for the ones that are most interesting to you or most suitable to your schedule. while most work-study jobs are on campus, sometimes they\u2019re off campus, with affiliated organizations. so make sure to be mindful of location during your application process.<\/p>\n<h3>what if i don\u2019t accept a work-study job?<\/h3>\n<p>you won\u2019t be penalized for not accepting a work-study job, you just won\u2019t make the money. if you don\u2019t need it, no problem.<\/p>\n<h2>3 quick questions to ask yourself when deciding whether or not to do work study<\/h2>\n<h3> #1 &#8211; do i need the work-study money?<\/h3>\n<p>the #1 factor in deciding whether or not to take on a work-study position is whether or not you <strong>need<\/strong> the money. if the money is pretty critical for affording college, then absolutely try a work-study job. but know that if you find another (non-work-study) job that pays more and\/or is better suited to your schedule and lifestyle, you can certainly take that instead. <\/p>\n<p>if money is not an issue and you\u2019re already very busy with courses and extracurricular activities, don\u2019t feel pressured to take on a work-study job just because the opportunity is offered to you.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 &#8211; do i have time for a work-study job?<\/h3>\n<p>this question relates directly to the last one, obviously. let\u2019s be real: college can get super intense, and it may be easy to feel overloaded. as a general rule of thumb, it\u2019s better not to spread yourself too thin, compromising your academic performance. so while the extra pocket cash may be nice, if you\u2019re not actually in financial need, it may be better to pass on a work-study position.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 &#8211; do i already have a job (work-study or otherwise)?<\/h3>\n<p>has a great work-study job miraculously presented itself to you? one that seems pretty much perfect? consider taking it! perhaps a teacher or peer in your department has informed you about a position that sounds like it could be resume-building or highly rewarding. in these cases, it\u2019s worthwhile to give it a try. remember, you can always opt out if you find yourself overextended. <\/p>\n<p>on the other hand, perhaps you already have a non-work-study job that you enjoy. that\u2019s okay! by all means, if you have a job that&#8217;s going well, don\u2019t feel obliged to take a work-study job instead. <\/p>\n<h2>the pros and cons of accepting a work-study job<\/h2>\n<p>to break it down simply, here are some \u201cpros\u201d of doing a work study:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>money<\/strong> &#8211; whether needed for educational costs or helpful for spending money, a work-study job will keep you in a consistent cash flow. <\/li>\n<li><strong>networking<\/strong> &#8211; working on campus can be a great way to meet people in your academic community. <\/li>\n<li><strong>experience<\/strong> &#8211; it\u2019s definitely possible to get a work-study job that builds the skills you\u2019re looking to develop overall in college\u2026 making it easier to find a job after you graduate. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and some of the \u201ccons:\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>over-committing yourself<\/strong> &#8211; if you have a very full schedule or struggle with time management, you might get flooded and risk falling behind in your classes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>lower pay than other jobs (possibly)<\/strong> &#8211; this won\u2019t necessarily be the case, but sometimes work-study jobs pay less than other jobs you may be interested in. however, if they\u2019re on campus, they may be more convenient overall and cut down on commute time. <\/li>\n<li><strong>limited options<\/strong> &#8211; while there\u2019s usually a wide variety of work-study jobs on campus, there\u2019s no guarantee that the one you want will be open at the time you\u2019re applying. you may have better luck searching elsewhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>a final word on doing work study<\/h2>\n<p>if you\u2019re still asking yourself, \u201cshould i do work study?\u201d remember that it\u2019s not required, and that you can always change your mind if you do give it a try. you can also apply to more than one position, or switch jobs if you find a more ideal one. it\u2019s always worth it to talk openly with your potential employer about your schedule and what you\u2019re looking for; you may be able to negotiate more flexible hours, for example. <\/p>\n<p>and if you need the work-study job but are worried about burnout, remember to look for one that lets you do homework on the job (a lot of them do!). for example, working in the library or writing center is often great for productivity.<\/p>\n<p>good luck and happy and job hunting! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>if you\u2019re reading this, that probably means
