Work Study

Applications for eligible work study candidates must be filled out in the Career Center. We collect new applications two weeks prior to the start of a new semester. Placement is not guaranteed, but we do our best. Please come prepared with your availability and previous work experience so you can complete the application properly as preparedness makes a great first impression.

In order to be considered for Federal Work Study you must be enrolled in a minimum of six hours and have financial need. Students that are enrolled in less than 6 hours or paying for school out of their own pockets are not eligible for federal work study.

Institutional Work Study is available to certain students but spaces are very limited.

Work Study is a great opportunity to let students gain experience, and make extra money. We enjoy having them involved in campus activities and we are flexible with their school schedules. With all this said they still have responsibilities that must be met on campus and in school in order to keep their positions.

Work Study Students:

1. Can not work over the amount of hours for which they are eligible.(19 is the maximum).
2. Work Study Students are paid $6.15 an hour bi-weekly.
3. If a Work Study Student drops classes it may affect their eligibility so they must tell the Career Center Coordinator as well as financial aid office.
4. They must have a social security card and ID to be hired.
5. They report to a supervisor and can loose their position if they do not take this placement seriously.
