<p>My sibling graduated from college and as such my EFC doubled. I’ve been receiving work-study from my college for the past two years, but I’m worried that since my EFC has increased I may lose it. Anyone heard of this happening?</p>
<p>It is certainly possible. WS is a need based award with very limited funding. If you still have unmet need with your higher EFC, it will depend on what your school’s policy for awarding WS is.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know that colleges can give and take as they please but I suppose I was more wondering if anyone had heard of this happening before. Ugh,I’d really like to find out before the summer as I do a very specific job for my work-study and would have to start training a replacement immediately, but I’m sure I won’t know for a while yet…</p>
<p>If you want to know…go into your college’s financial aid office and ASK. I’m quite sure they will be able to tell you if your work-study award will be continued. DD went into the financial aid office each March to discuss her continued work study award. The school will be able to answer your questions.</p>
