On FAFSA you have to report your earnings. If I work a job over the summer will I qualify for less aid? I know a lot of college students work, so maybe it's not such a big deal?
You have a maximum annual earnings limit in order to remain on need based status. You cannot earn more than $7,500 per year if you want to remain eligible for all benefits. If you are still considered dependent, you also need to take your parents' income into consideration. Anyhow, unless you are going to earn more than $7,500 this year, you can go right ahead and work this summer.
