I didn't post this question in the work thread because work studies are only through colleges so it would most likely gain more responses in this thread.

How do work studies work? Can I apply for one even though I already submitted my Fafsa? If I need more money could I ask for more hours and talk to the financial aid department? I only want to work 8 hours a week in a lab so that's not asking for much, I mostly want it for experience.

Did you find work studies to accommodate your class schedule well? I will be almost a full time student, but would like lab experience since I plan on being in the laboratory field.
