Here's the scoop on work study
Work study is a need-based program that helps students meet their financial obligations while they're attending college.
- Because eligibility is need-based, students must complete the financial aid process to determine whether they are eligible.
- Work study jobs are federally and state funded, and they are available to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens.
- Work study awards are paid bi-weekly in the form of paychecks for hours actually worked.
- There is no guarantee students will earn the full amount of their work study award.
- Not all students are eligible for work study, and eligibility does not guarantee a position will be available.
