What is Work-Study?

Question

In few words, what is work-study? I can look it up, but there is too much information. Give me the basics... Have you done this, and what do you recommend? Tell me your experiences.

Answer 1

Almost all colleges have a work-study program.  The student attends classes as normal AND the student is eligible to work on campus.

On a side note, there are 7 work colleges in the U.S.  All students are required to work a certain number of hours.  I go to one of these colleges.  This can be both a negative and positive experience; it all depends on how you look at it.

Answer 2

I have never done work study, but in college it was like for people who were enrolled @ the school could apply to work there.  But I think your parent's income has something to do with qualifying for it. You get paid through the school. Like usually the jobs are working at the library, for a department or something like that.

Answer 3

Work study!

you work at a school and they pay you little pay. Like min wages.
