A work-study award may be issued as part of a financial aid package. Your financial aid officer can help you determine eligibility. Work-study may be granted from three funding sources, Federal, State, and Hamline funds. If your financial aid package does not include work-study, and you wish to work on campus, please see your financial aid officer to determine eligibility for one of these awards. You are not required to have an award to work on-campus, but preference is often given to students with awards.
Departments have limited funding to hire students without awards.
This is controlled by the hiring department, based on their budget requirements. We also encourage you to check with your financial aid officer to see if you would qualify for an award. Your Campus Employment Eligibility Card states your name, Social Security or Hamline ID number, and your work-study award status. For students with work-study awards, cards are issued at the start of the fall semester. If you do not have an award but plan to work on-campus, request a card in person at Human Resources.
