Work-study students could provide valuable help to graduate student research, particularly ecological research in the field. In return, work-study students would receive valuable professional experience in research. However, a College Work-Study cannot work to assist someone's personal project or academic studies. It does not affect your financial aid eligibility at ISU if you do, or do not, complete these questions. For simplicity we would recommend that you have the Direct Loan Servicer purchase your bank loans.
Summer is a separate period, but only gets what is left over after an academic year consideration.
Currently the ISU Career Counseling Office offers a scholarship and grant search service free. This service is soon to be put on the ISU computer network, and you will be able to access this search service in the computer labs. Watch for more information on this service. Generally students can be eligible for student loan funds and, at times, Pell Grant funds. Review the summer application as it fully explains eligibility requirements and the effect of summer borrowing on academic year loan eligibility.
