Work Study

Federal and state funds provide opportunities for students to work part-time for a fixed hourly wage. The total amount a student may earn is determined on the basis of need. The funds are LIMITED and are generally awarded on a first-come first-served basis to students who demonstrate need. Work study jobs are not to exceed 20 hours per week. Community service work study jobs are available. Students are encouraged to immediately contact a Financial Aid Counselor when their work study notification is received. If no contact is made, the work study opportunity could be re-assigned to another student.

When the Financial Aid Counselor is contacted, the student is given a work study referral that must be completed and turned into the Financial Aid office. Once the referral is completed, the student then searches for a position through student employment. The hiring party or campus department will submit the required electronic forms to hire the student. All forms must be received and processed before paid work can begin.

A wide variety of jobs are available on campus. Students can reference their work experience on future resumes.
