A work-study award may be issued as part of a financial aid package. Your financial aid counselor can help you determine eligibility. Need-based work-study may be granted from either Federal or State funds. If your financial aid package does not include work-study, and you wish to work on-campus, please see your financial aid counselor to determine if you may become eligible. You are not required to have an award to work on-campus, but preference is often given to students with work-study as part of their financial aid package.
