All departments on campus have the opportunity to apply for an allocation of Work-Study funds. Academic department chairs should submit their requests to the Dean of their college. All other departments should submit their requests to the Financial Aid Office. Requests for Work-Study funds must be submitted by April 1. These funds are limited.
Departments generally request more funds than are available.
The Financial Aid Department will instruct one person in each department to periodically run a PeopleSoft report detailing both the balance of that department's allocation and the balance of the Work-Study awards of the students working within that department. All other applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received. See hiring procedures in section 4.2. Contact the Financial Aid Office by memo requesting additional departmental funds. Occasionally funds become available mid-spring depending on department utilization.
