Federal
College Work Study
The Federal Work Study program is based on financial need. Application
is made by filing the FAFSA. The student's eligibility depends
upon the need for employment to defray educational expenses, with
preference given to those with the highest financial need. Many
students are offered employment as part of their financial aid
award. Awards generally range between $1,000 and $2,000 per year
with students working 6-10 hours per week. The student is expected
to work during the hours agreed upon with the supervisor. Every
effort will be made to place the student in a job related to his/her
field of interest and/or past experience. However, there is no
guarantee of employment or the amount the student will earn. A
student can only earn up to the amount awarded. The funds are
only disbursed when the student works the required hours.
Campus Employment
Employment is available to students not eligible for Federal Work
Study. The procedural guidelines for campus employment are the
same as for the Federal work Study program.
