Work-study is need based aid. Do you still have unmet Need? If so, it is certainly worth appealing. At my school, we award 70% of the WS funds to students with unmet need in the order that they submitted their FAFSAs. We award the remaining 30% on a case-by-case basis to students with unmet need who have been offered WS positions. Since you do have the job lined up, you have a good chance of being awarded WS (if your school hasn’t already awarded their full allotment).
