^^ I think you misunderstood. In a financial aid award, a student’s term-time job and summer earnings are included in the student contribution portion of the award… Those contributions, along with the parent contribution, are added together to compute “Total Resources.” The scholarship you receive is your budget (room, board, tuition, books, personal expenses, travel expenses) minus your total resources. So, it’s not an expectation, but money you either have to earn or you/your parents need to come up with.
