Work-study awards provide a stipulated amount of income up to a specified ceiling, usually no more than a few thousand dollars per year, for a student who qualifies through the Office of Student Financial Services for such assistance. To seek such an award, an applicant must complete the form to establish financial need. After qualifying for a work-study award, a student will be evaluated on the basis of education and previous work experience, and may then apply for positions at the University and other government agencies. Student co-op positions and internships providing significant amounts of professional experience, a minimum of 20 hours a week of work, and, usually, excellent salaries are available through some corporations and government agencies. All such jobs end with graduation.
None have employee benefits.
Most have stipulations that must be met and that vary with the job. Holding certain University fellowships may not permit working, or with special permission, permit work for no more than 10 hours.
