I just received a federal work study grant for Graduate School at PittState University in Kansas. I also have independent study courses. My goal is to get paid via work study as I am an online student working remotely from California etc. I have a federal EIN for self employment within Health and Fitness Education. YouTube records "watch time" and thus those hours would become my worktime. Then, the financial aid office pays me thework study grant. I have experience with reporting work time work hours to San Francisco Human Sercices Agency. So, work study for YouTube would not be unusual. Something NEW?
