The student may be either a graduate or undergraduate student enrolled at least half-time in a degree program. Work-Study program funds may not be used unless the student's eligibility has been established. Eligibility in a previous year does not carry forward to the next year. Students must not begin working prior to the first day of classes. Students whose files have been selected for verification may not earn work-study funds until verification has been completed.
Positions vary with the department's needs.
Work-study students may not replace a regular employee. The Student Rate Schedule, developed by the Office of Employee Relations, provides a guideline for student salaries. A copy of the Student Rate Schedule can be found on the University of Delaware Home Page. This Rate Schedule is only a guide, it is up to the individual department to determine their students' wage rate as well as raises. The work-study office must be notified of any change in the students wage rates prior to implementation.
