COLLEGE WORK STUDY STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The Federal College Work-Study program is a type of financial aid providing campus jobs to students. Pay for these jobs comes from a combination of University and federal government funds.

Not every student is eligible for a work-study job; eligibility is determined by the Office of Financial Aid. The maximum number of hours a student may work is based on their eligibility and is not to exceed 7.5 hours per week.

If you are eligible for Work/Study, this will be noted in the Financial Aid Award Letter sent to you.
