Part-tome students can be eligible for financial aid, based on a determined need. The amount of aid given will be based on personal need, and the amount of credits carried for any given semester. You can check with the Financial Aid Department at the institution you are at, or have an interest in for detailed information and procedures. Also ask for scholarship information. Not all scholarships are academic based.

Work-study is a federally funded student financial aid program. It is need-based. Eligibility is determined by FAFSA, which you can complete online at www.FAFSA.ed.gov The information collected will determine your need, and this data will be sent to the school where you have been accepted. The school will put together an aid package, which may or may not include work-study. If you are not eligible for the need-based programs, you can check with the financial aid office to see if they have a jobs board for employment on and off campus.
Financial aid is determined on a need based formula. In many instances there are students who's family income is too high to be considered for financial aid. Thus, there is the option of the student loan. However, unlike the financial aid grants, the loan must be paid back. Hopefully, someone with an expertise in financial aid will add to this, and give you a better or more informed answer.
