Federal Work-Study awards are made as part of students' financial aid packages. Students must also meet all other eligibility requirements for federal financial aid. Students who receive Federal Work-Study awards are not guaranteed positions. Efforts will be made by the Office of Student Employment to assist awardees in securing positions, however students should contact Student Employment to begin the job application and search process. Federal Work-Study funds are not automatically credited to students' accounts.
Funds are available once employment is secured and wages are earned.
Paychecks are produced approximately the 25th of each month for hours worked during the previous month. Students are limited to working a maximum of 20 hours a week during academic periods and 40 hours during nonacademic periods. Students who receive an award and choose not to work should contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Assistance so that other students may use these funds.
