The picture on the right is like if you continued scrolling down.

I understand the basics, like grants are money you don’t have to give back, loans are… well loans…

But the “Cond. Parent Loan Option-Apply” and “Conditional FWS Option”.
I get that it’s work study, but I don’t understand how it works. Since it says $766 (for Fall 2013) does that mean I can only work until I make $766? Or I get $766 if I accept work study then I get paid on top of that?

Also from experience how “good” are these numbers? I’ve never gotten financial aid, so I don’t know how much things cost overall for UC living I guess. (I think I said I was living off campus?)
