As a first year financial aid recipient, you will begin to become familiar with the programs that may be available to you for financial assistance. This award provides employment opportunities in various campus offices. The federal government allocates funds to the Colleges annually for payment of a certain percentage of student's wages. Students are paid at an hourly rate and receive paychecks every two weeks. Earnings are to be used to meet college charges as well as provide for personal expenses.
Most students work between eight and ten hours per week.
Students are awarded the eligibility to earn and are responsible for seeking out their own campus job opportunity. Financial Aid work-study eligible students have priority during the first two weeks of each semester to secure a position. After this two-week period, the positions are available to all students. The Federal Work-Study Eligibility Statement tells you how many hours a week you are eligible to work. This form is then returned to the Office of Financial Aid by your supervisor.
