Federal and state funding pick up the other 70 percent. This provides more money for employers to use in other areas. Students benefit as well, Wessman said. It takes about two minutes to fill out. Once a student is eligible, finding a job on the employment center job board is the next step.
Work study allows many students to stay on-campus while working.
I work between classes and around exams, which most normal, off-campus jobs would not let me do. Besides flexibility, work study provides interaction between students and university employers, Reihsen said. It has definitely been worth it. Summer CWS permits students to work up to 40 hours per week. During the fall and spring semesters, students may only work 20 hours per week.
