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
