How do part-time earnings during the academic year affect my award?
GW is required to consider your previous calendar-year earnings when we calculate your financial need. This means that current earnings will affect next year’s calculation. However, if we based your need on estimated income for the academic year by using a special condition analysis, then changes could affect your award. In this case, if your parents (or you and/or your spouse, if you are an independent student) get a job when they had not expected to work, find a job with a higher rate of pay, or work more hours, inform our office in writing within one week of the change. Your aid package may need to be reduced as a result of the increased income.
