5. When the contract period expires, the student will no longer continue to earn Federal  Work-Study wages, even if the entire amount awarded has not been earned.  If the student earns his/her total amount before the expiration of his/her employment contract, he/she will no longer be eligible to be paid with federalfunds.   Once the student has earned his/her maximum award, the student must be released from the work study program.
