<p>If you’re talking about the generic “student employment” in most financial aid packages, then your paycheck is automatically deposited into your bank account. What you choose to do with that money is up to you - some students use it for their tuition, others use it for beer money. There is no guarantee that you’ll make the amount specified in the financial aid package - what you actually make is entirely dependent on the wage of the job you get and the number of hours you choose to work (be aware that there are maximum hours imposed on on campus student jobs).</p>
<p>As an international student (assuming you are not a US citizen living abroad), you’ll need to provide additional documentation, which depends on the type of visa you have. If you have an F-2 visa, you are not allowed to work.
