Federal Work-Study is a program which provides part-time employment opportunities to eligible students to help meet educational expenses. Students may gain valuable knowledge, skills, and experiences that will prove useful upon graduation. Federal Work-Study students must secure a job and work to earn their award and will receive bi-weekly paychecks. Therefore, Work-Study funds would not be credited toward your University fee bill.
If you are interested in working as part of the Federal Work-Study Program you must accept your Work-Study offer on or before August 1st and secure a job on or before September 16th. It is important that you inform your employer that you have a Work-Study offer. Failure to secure a job by September 16th will result in your Work-Study award being canceled.
