It is a need-based employment opportunity given to you as part of your financial aid package. Job boards, located outside the Student Financial Aid Office, list work-study positions, their job descriptions, and rate of pay. Work-Study students will pick up an employment packet at the beginning of the academic year and apply individually for positions on the board. A wide range of Federal Work-Study jobs exist at the university.
Students provide valuable work in areas ranging from academic offices to research labs.
Position descriptions vary in job titles spanning from gallery monitor to marketing intern. Unlike other aid sources, work-study earnings will not be credited to your university bill. Earnings are limited to a specified total award. Your individual work schedule and hourly wage will determine if you earn the total amount awarded.
