Students generally control the success of their job. Students willing to keep an open mind have expanded routine jobs to encompass new responsibilities and areas of interest. Community service jobs are available in a range of service projects at organizations that help meet the needs of our local community, while providing an educational opportunity for Clark students. Not necessarily, but if you choose to delay starting work, you should be aware that jobs usually fill up quickly and supervisors may expect students to start working immediately. Also, delaying the start of work may mean that you will not have income for expenses and books, and it reduces your chances of earning your full award.
Federal regulations prohibit any advances on work-study.
Students should also note that while work-study offers great opportunities for many students, it may not be the best option for everyone. If you already have a well-paying job or one that offers experience in your field of study, you may prefer to stay at that job. You may also want to consider the intensity of your academic course load before choosing to work. It is not necessary for you to work all the hours allowed by your award. If you wish to work only a few hours a week, you should seek a position that fits your schedule.
