Work Study Programs
The Federal Work Study Program provides students with an opportunity to work in order to help meet their educational expenses. Eligibility is determined by the Student Aid Report. On- and off-campus employment includes clerical, library, reading tutors, maintenance, cleaning, and recreational services.
What is the difference between Federal Work Study and regular on-campus employment?
Work study is a federal program that provides funds to the school for the student's employment. A student may be employed on the campus even though he or she has not been awarded work study.
How is eligibility for Work Study determined?
First priority for federal work study is given to students who have the highest need according to the federal calculation. Because funds are limited, students who apply early will be considered first for work study funds.
Am I guaranteed a job if I have been awarded Work Study?
It is the responsibility of the student to secure a job. The Work Study award is not a guarantee of employment.
How do I find out about available on-campus jobs?
See the office of Student Financial Services for availability and applications.
