Funds are awarded based on financial need, skills related to work and availability of funds. First-time students receiving campus employment will be assigned a campus job prior to enrollment. Current campus employment recipients are required to individually pursue their own employment for the following academic year. A listing of job openings is available in the spring for current students. Federal Work Study positions pay the federal minimum wage, with payment to the student made monthly based on the hours worked in the previous month.
Many jobs are available in Blair, Omaha, and the immediate area.
Students interested in such employment should contact the Career Services Office or the Financial Aid Office. International Travel and Study Fund Initial funding from The Honorable Paul Simon, former U.S. Senator and member of the Dana College Board of Regents, has made it possible to create an International Travel and Study Fund for Dana College students.

A limited number of loans will be available each year.
