POSSIBLE
ELIMINATION OF WORK STUDY:
As a result of the State of Iowa budget debates, the 2001-02 Iowa Work
Study program has been targeted for elimination which would impact all
colleges and universities in Iowa. This means that there may be a drastic
reduction to the total work study fundings at UNI for 2001-02. Due to
the potential loss of Iowa Work Study funds, students who wish to be
considered for 2001-02 work study should have already applied for financial
aid. Students who have not applied are encourged to complete the 2001-02
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible.
It is very likely that many students who received work study as part
of their 2000-01 award package may not receive it during 2001-02. If
you have questions on how to complete and submit a FAFSA, please feel
free to contact the Financial Aid / Student Employment Office at 116
GIL, 273-2700.
