Federal and state loans are also available both to students and to the parents of students who do not show financial need. Interest rates on these loans are variable and are adjusted annually. Under certain conditions, repayment of these loans may be deferred while the student is enrolled in school. The student employment program provides jobs for students who show financial need and want to earn part of their educational expenses while attending school. Students may choose from a variety of employment opportunities depending on their education and experience.
Most jobs require fifteen or fewer hours of work a week.
