[quote=Anonymous]Generally students use work study money for things like books, and living expenses that are ongoing, so parents do not need to front the money. It's possible that a kid might save money from semester 1 work study to pay for semester 2, but that still doesn't involve parents fronting money. The benefit of work study for the students is that they get jobs that don't require them to commute, and that are flexible and work around student schedules. Plus most campuses offer a wide variety of work study jobs, so students who act quickly and responsibly will find something that works for them. If a student isn't proactive about seeking a position, and ends up without a position, or in a position they particularly dislike, then hopefully that's a learning experience. The benefit to the university is that they have to pay less for student workers, since the federal government is subsidizing wages. [/quote]
