Awards are made to eligible students who are offered a job, and who contact Student Employment to request it. Work-Study is basically a pot of money set aside to subsizide your wage. However, your employer is reimbursed a large percentage of your wage, making it easier to find a job or perhaps to get a work experience you really want. This large reimbursement makes it very attractive to employers to hire Work-Study employees. There are separate forms for Work-Study and Regular Student Employment .
