Federal work study is awarded as part of financial aid. Students need to qualify for it. There will be an amount you are allowed to earn from some jobs that have been approved to be in the program. They are often jobs in the library, gym, dorms, departments at the school, administrative offices, labs. You find a job and you can work up to the number of hours your grant allows. Work study is just a job, no different than if you were working at a cafe or Starbucks, except that the ‘employer’ (the university usually) is often much more flexible in your hours and needing time off to study, and there are a few tax benefits.

Your income, before or after your 18th birthday, are yours. You file your own taxes and pay the amount due.

Whether you stay on your family’s insurance depends on they type of insurance they have. If they have a group policy through an employer, you can usually stay on it until you are 26. It will depend on how far away you go to school if there will be providers in the college area.
