Earn money while enrolled

The Federal Work Study program is a form of financial assistance that allows students to earn money through on-campus employment while they are enrolled. Work-study is an opportunity for professional development alongside additional aid options. The Federal Work Study program is not a traditional form of financial assistance because earned money goes directly to the student in the form of a paycheck.

Work study is not a guaranteed amount of aid.
While a student’s initial award is up to $1000 per year, the student is only paid for hours worked. Any earnings beyond $1000 will still be funded.
Work study earnings are not automatically applied toward tuition and fees. These earnings are paid directly to the student through payroll twice a month. Payment Plan Information
