Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work-Study Program was established to stimulate and promote part-time employment for students who are in need of earnings to finance the cost of higher education. The law requires that participants be in good academic standing, be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, and demonstrate financial need. Students are paid $8 per hour and may work up to 15 hours per week during school periods and up to 30 hours per week during vacation periods. The amount of the award is based on a student's need as determined by the Financial Aid Office and available funds.

All federal work-study jobs are located on campus. The following departments have Federal Work Study jobs available: Admissions, Registrar, Dean's Office/Student Life, Mailroom/Housing, Library, Audio Visual/Mudd Theatre, Moore Cultural Center and Research Assistants.
