"Work Study" is a federally funded program you apply for by filling out a fafsa form at http://fafsa.ed.gov
To be eligible for Work Study, a person has to have exceptional "Need" when looking at their income. Work Study is where the student gets a job (usually on campus) part time about 15 to 20 hours a week. The money is given to them after they work the hours, just like a regular job, but since it is considered Finanical Aid, it is included on their schools "Award Letter" as money to help them pay for incidentals. Students can use the money they earn from work study for whatever they wish.
One common misconception is that the Work Study money is availble for them in one lump sum at the beginning of the semester like a grant or scholarship is to help them pay for tuition or books, and this is not the case with Work Study because a student has to EARN the money (not to mention find a job on campus) so work study can’t really be used to pay for outstanding tuition or fees or a dorm room or things like that.
hope it helps.
