Can I work as many hours as I want?
No. The amount you earn can’t exceed your total Federal Work-Study award. When assigning work hours, your employer or financial aid administrator will consider your class schedule and your academic progress.

-
Are Federal Work-Study jobs on campus or off campus?
Both. If you work on campus, you’ll usually work for your school. If you work off campus, your employer will usually be a private nonprofit organization or a public agency, and the work performed must be in the public interest. Some schools might have agreements with private for-profit employers for Federal Work-Study jobs. These jobs must be relevant to your course of study (to the maximum extent possible). If you attend a proprietary school, there might be further restrictions on the jobs you can be assigned.

How will I be paid off the FSEOG?

What’s the difference between an FSEOG and a Federal Pell Grant?
Each school participating in the Federal Pell Grant Program will receive enough money to pay the Federal Pell Grant amounts its eligible students qualify for. Every eligible student might not receive an FSEOG, however; students at each school will be awarded these funds based on availability at that school.

What is a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant?
An FSEOG is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need—that is, students with the lowest EFCs. Priority is given to students who receive Federal Pell Grants. An FSEOG doesn’t have to be paid back.

HOW will I be paid off Pell Grant?
Your school can credit the Pell Grant funds to your school account, pay you directly (usually by check), or combine these methods. The school must tell you in writing how and when you'll be paid and how much your Pell Grant will be. Schools must pay you at least once per term (semester, trimester, or quarter). Schools that don't use formally defined, traditional terms must pay you at least twice per academic year.
