Auraeight,

It depends. If the outside scholarships reduce your aid (by removing the work-study grant), you won’t be able to work there. Work-study works by getting you a grant from the government, and then the job where you work pays you (partially) out of that grant. However, if you still have the grant, you could probably use it with your job then. The best way to find a direct answer is to ask SFS (the fin. aid office).

Of course, you’re always able to find non-workstudy jobs on campus too. There are just fewer of them, because workstudy grants mean that your employer doesn’t have to pay as much when the government is subsidizing you.
