Student Employment – Work Study

What is Work-Study?

Federal Work-Study is a self-help program to assist with college expenses.  The Work-Study program provides part-time job opportunities on campus and with limited off-campus organizations. Work-Study students receive bi-weekly paychecks from the college which can be used at the discretion of the student. A Work-Study student may work up to 20 hours per week.

Who is eligible for Work-Study?

Eligibility for the Work-Study program is determined by completing and submitting the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form. Be sure to list school code 007171 on the FAFSA. To be eligible a student must: demonstrate financial need, be enrolled in at least six (6) credits, be a citizen or permanent resident, and meet satisfactory academic progress standards towards an eligible program of study. If you have completed the FAFSA form but do not know if you are eligible for the Work-Study program, please contact the Student Financial Services Office to speak with a Financial Aid Officer.
