Why would the work-study award be adjusted?
A. A student’s college work-study award may be adjusted for a number of reasons: • Student drops credits. Example: student indicated he or she would be taking 12 credits, and ends up taking 11. Budget would be adjusted from full-time attendance to three-quarter-time attendance. This adjustment may cause a reduction in college work-study and/or other aid. • Student decides he or she will not be attending for the full academic year. Again, budget would be adjusted based on the number of semesters attended, which may lead to a reduction in college work-study and/or other aid. • Student receives an outside scholarship that was not originally reported. • Student becomes academically ineligible. • Student requests it. • Department requests it. • In all cases, both the student and department are notified of any changes in the original awards.
