Do you mean they didn’t offer you a Perkins or you didn’t accept it? It is better to keep grant aid, which is basically free money, than work study. But, if you’re a science major and working on research that could potentially open doors for you and you really want the work study, you can turn down the grant. I would forgo the sub Stafford first though, as long as you don’t need it to pay your first semester bill! Not sure why you have to decide by the 23rd…Stafford loan eligibility doesn’t suddenly end in June and isn’t aid that gets redistributed.
