Stafford Loans require a loan application in addition to the federal Pell application. This is a part-time work program available to students who ask to be considered for these positios. Preference is given to students showing the greatest financial need. The work-study student works up to 15 hours a week and is paid the national minimum wage. Students working in these positions are paid at an hourly rate established by the Board.
Reimbursement is by check twice each month.
These positions are not based on financial need. Some students qualify for benefits through the State Rehabilitation Program, Veterans' Administration, Social Security, and so forth. There are several other programs available to specially qualified students. A dependent of a veteran who died or became disabled as a result of military service may be eligible for veterans benefits. If you are a veteran with more than 180 days of continous active duty, you may be eligible for educational benefits from the Veterans Administration.
