Will my internships affect my financial aid?




Interships are a great thing! They give you great experience and decent money.  In order to get your internship, you need to have a resume to distribute at the numerous career fairs that happen on campus.  You can get help in developing your resume at the many workshops thats are offered on campus throughout the academic year.  (Also, check out our blog post on resumes HERE!)

Once you have an internship, the financial aid office will factor in the majority of your newly earned money as a contribution towards your education, thereby reducing your financial aid from other sources.   If you're aware of this and actually save the money for college, it's not a bad thing.  If you are unaware of this, it will affect your financial planning for the following year.
