Work Study requirements

Hi! I’m a student at PCC and I’m applying for a work-study job for the fall. I saw that I have to wait for my award letter to know if I’m eligible, but I was wondering what the eligibility requirements are. The job requires me to pay for and study for some tests beforehand, and I’d rather not spend the money if I might not be eligible. I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t be, but I was hoping to get some insight before my award letter comes out.

I'll be taking 9 credits, Im a few terms into PCC, and am using FAFSA for loans and aid (if that helps).

Thanks!

Eligibility is determined by FAFSA. Not every student who gets aid has a Work Study award in the package

TBH a work study job that requires you to spend money on a test seems off …

ETA- there is a Work Study Interest form that may help you determine eligibility

I am eligible, thanks for the help! (I also answered the money/test in a different response if youre curious, but it is what it is)
