What is College Work Study?
College Work Study gives students the opportunity to earn money by working at qualified part-time jobs in and around the university. Students receiving work study awards can review potential part-time jobs with the Office of Financial Aid’s Student Employment Office. Work study is awarded to those students with the greatest financial need. Work study students are some of the most highly sought after employees, on and off campus, because federal or state funding covers as much as 65% of the wage rate, while the employer (university departments, or an off-campus non-profit organization) pay only 35%. Students interested in community service positions may find a number of jobs available through the Work Study program.
