Federal Work Study

Federal Work Study is an employment program that enables you to work part-time while you attend school and gives you valuable work experience while earning your degree.  The program pays you at least minimum wage for the hours you work.  Students who are eligible for work study are often highly desired for student employment positions because the federal government supplements the wages that you are paid by the university. Work study is available to undergraduate and graduate students. Contact the Office of Financial Aid to see if you qualify for Federal Work Study.
