This program encourages community service and work related to your course of study. Community Service employment allows you to work in a non-profit agency, on or off campus, and encourages a sense of responsibility. If you accept a Community Service position you will be asked to evaluate your experience. Regular work-study positions are available on campus and every effort is made to place you in your field of study. You will be paid at least the minimum wage and can work 10-20 hours per week.
Funding is limited.
There is both subsidized and unsubsidized loans available. A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of need and the federal government will pay the interest on the loan while you remain in school. If you only qualify for an unsubsidized loan, you must pay the interest while attending school. Repayment for all student loans begins 6 months after you complete your studies, terminate your enrollment, or drop below half-time. More detailed information on loan borrowing is available in the Financial Aid Office.
