Our student employee has an award allocation that has not been exhausted when the school year ends (mid-June); can the unused portion be carried over into the summer?
No, the end of the school year signifies the ending of the Work Study award period. Summer is the start of the new school year, and Work Study eligibility must be re-established based on the student’s financial aid application for the next award year. • We hired a student whose performance is outstanding and s/he has made a valuable contribution to our business/organization. Is there any way to recognize this contribution? Students always appreciate a raise, and we are always glad to hear success stories. Some students become regular employees at their Work Study site after graduation. A good letter of reference is welcome recognition. Letters of commendation can be sent to the Work Study Office; about March of each year the Washington State Association of Student Employment Administrators accepts nominations for a Student of the Year award. The Western Association of Student Employment Administrators also confers awards, and there is a national competition as well.
