Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study program provides part-time employment for students with unmet financial need by allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses while attending college. This program may be comprised of both federal and college funds and is designed to help students who would be unable to pursue or continue their studies unless they earned part of their expenses. Amounts vary depending on funding.

Students in this program work an average of 20-30 hours per week.
The current rate of pay is $14.00 - $15.00 per hour.
While assignment of Federal Work-Study jobs related to the student’s field of study is desirable, this is not a requirement and often is not possible.
Jobs vary and may include working in offices, laboratories and the library, or as peer counselors, teachers’ aides and reading tutors.

REQUIREMENTS

Must demonstrate financial need, as determined by submitting a FAFSA application.
Maintain a 2.0 GPA minimum.
Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress as required by college policy.
Must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 Title IV eligible credit hours.

Eligible students are then placed on the availability list from which departments requesting a work-study student will select candidates.

INTERVIEW AND HIRING PROCESS

If a student is selected, they will be contacted to undergo an informal interview with the hiring manager. If hired, the financial aid work-study coordinator will then contact the student with a date and time to come to the financial aid office and complete hire paperwork.

Students may not work during regularly scheduled class time and may not begin work prior to completing the new hire paperwork.

The Federal Work-Study program allows students to work a job and earn an hourly rate. The program allows students to work for their earnings and is not a job in which a student is paid to study.
