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.
