fafsa what is work study
Federal Work-Study is a form of financial aid and, like other forms of financial aid, may be used only in the year for which it was awarded. You must reapply for this, as well as all other types of aid, each year by filing the FAFSA by Febuary 15th at www.FAFSA.gov.
Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to become eligible for work-study. Participants must demonstrate financial need and those who file the FAFSA early often have a better shot at qualifying. Schools may award aid on a first-come, first-served basis. Back to top.
