This program is basically an incentive program from the government to get colleges to hire students to work on campus. It is both a benefit to the institution and to the student. It benefits the institution in that the government helps offset payroll expenses, and it benefits the student in that earnings are tax exempt. The work-study award is not a guarantee of employment. Your earnings will never go onto your account towards your charges unless you do so yourself by taking the money to the Accounting Office and depositing it.
Federal grants are only available to students pursuing their first undergraduate degree.
