Student Employment

Work study positions may be funded either by the College or through the Federal Work Study Program. Campus offices and departments hire student workers directly, and students are responsible for securing their own positions. Students who qualify for Federal Work Study receive priority consideration for campus employment.

What is Federal Work Study?

Students are eligible for federal college work-study based on need which is determined by filing the FAFSA form. The amount earned varies with the number of hours worked and students typically work 7-10 hours a week. Generally, students are paid minimum wage on a bi-weekly basis. While the awarded amount is included in the financial aid package, it does not directly reduce the semester bill. Students must earn the money, which can act as reimbursement for tuition paid or can be saved for the following semester.
