Jobs are available both on and off-campus. The America Reads Program at local elementary schools is one such Community Service effort, managed by the Office of Work-Study. Federal Work-Study awards are based both on need and availability of funding. This award is not a guaranteed salary, but an earnings limit. Students must devise a schedule with their employers based on this limit and their hourly pay to ensure that this limit will not be exceeded before the end of the academic year.
Most students work between ten and twelve hours per week.
Funds are paid directly to students based on wage rates and the number of hours worked every two weeks. Federal Work-Study funds are not credited towards students' invoices.
