Work awards contribute more than financial assistance to your college education. In an increasingly competitive job market, employers want applicants who have both work and academic experience. Your work award amount is based on an academic year. Therefore, your work award should be earned during both semesters and should not be earned within a few months. If your work award is for only one semester, it should be earned within one semester.
Work is available through on-campus departments.
This amount may be higher in some departments based on job requirements. You may have more than one job. It is important to select one or more jobs that will provide you with enough hours to earn the total amount of your award. You may not, however, earn more than your total eligibility. Obtain a copy of The Student Employment Handbook for specific information regarding on campus jobs available in both the Human Resources and Financial Aid Offices.
