Students can receive for more than one year but must apply each year. Awards are determined by the Financial Aid Office and are not repaid. Recipients are allowed to charge tuition and fees or books for the amount of the grant at the time of registration. Although these funds are limited, students applying for other financial aid will automatically be considered for this program. The Federal College Work Study and Local Student Assistant programs provide part-time employment for qualified students.
Positions vary from clerical to lab assistants, and computer operations to lifeguards.
Eligibility for Work Study is need based. Students can work up to nineteen hours a week and are paid the current minimum wage as set forth by the Department of Labor. Students must maintain acceptable work habits in order to continue employment. Students must be enrolled at least half-time and must apply for financial aid. Applications for the Work Study positions are available in the Financial Aid Office.
