<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#194975">I think that generally the answer is ‘no’, switching out federal grant funding, or replacing federal grant funding with other federal grant funding
is not allowed. The <a href="https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/fsa-handbook/2024-2025/vol6/ch2-federal-work-study-program">
Federal Work-Study program</a> comes with explicit and complicated rules that I would not attempt to discern on my own.
