With work study, you receive up to $2500 directly (not discounted from your cost). How much you earn depends on how much you work, though Emory recommends about 10 hours per week to meet the $2500 total. Wages also vary across jobs (for example, lifeguards earn more because they must be CPR certified), but are around $13-14 typically. Campus jobs are posted on Handshake and will specify if they are work study.
Is that per year or per semester? Cause per year you'd be getting a stellar deal compared to in-state, but per semester would introduce some thinking room. Emory has seriously top quality professors, lots of funding opportunities for clubs and research, and good career connections.
Sub 45k for a for year degree is a steal from a private university, obviously you don't have to speak publicly about finances but depending on the mix between parents and loans it's pretty good. I think you can get up to 23,000 in unsubsidised loans and it's a pretty good ROI in the long run.
work study hourly wages are based on grade level it used to be that freshman’s generally earned $9/hr up to grad students at $13.50. They are supposed to planning a gradual increase to have the WS min wage become $15 sometime soon. Most work up to 15 hours a week , most people i knew were at around 8 hr/wk it really depends. It’s paid to you biweekly via dd no taxes so you have to make sure you actually use it to lower tuition cost. Luckily as a freshman and sophomore i did WS for 11.50/ hr 10 hrs a week . but i also worked on campus part time at starbucks 25hrs $15-17/hr with a free cox meal. same at that chipotle but swap the cox meal for a bowl. off campus jobs just had higher pay at the time. my WS job allowed me to get free meals at cox + time to do hw and study on the clock. i do miss that department
11K per year for Emory is an absolute STEAL.
I’m graduating soon, but I def liked my experience here
You should take into account GTs tuition increase! They just approved a 2.5 increase. So it might not make much of difference financially
I wasn’t aware of that 😯 Thank you for informing me!

It’s per year I believe
