Federal Work Study

The Federal Work Study Program and Your Education

 A number of grants, loans and other programs exist to help you find the financing required for today's colleges and universities. However, one of the best programs is the Work Study program. There are both federal and non-federal works study programs; each offers similar benefits and operates on a similar basis. This program is designed to provide financial aid to students in financial need and can be combined with other options to create a comprehensive financial aid package. In fact, a Work Study program can be used successfully with both loans and grants.

US Scholarships for Canadian Students

Many Canadian students come down to the United States to attend school here and many have asked if they are eligible for financial aid. 

To be eligible for federal financial aid such as FSEOG, Pell Grant, and Stafford Loans, you must be a United States citizen. There is no way of getting around this rule and if you wish to get federal FAFSA aid, you must become a citizen.
