The Work-Study program is a federally funded program that provides part-time employment, primarily on campus, for students who show financial need.
Federal Work-Study awards range from $3,000 – $6,000 per academic year, $1,500 – $3,000 per semester. The pay rate ranges from $10.75 – $12.75 per hour.
Work-Study funds will only be disbursed as the student works the hours agreed upon between the student and their supervisor, usually 8 – 10 hours per week.
After the student is given their work schedule, they will:
- Work their scheduled hours.
- Submit their time/hours worked.
- Be paid for the hours worked, like a normal job, twice a month.
Students can only earn what they have been offered for work-study. If you do not work, you will not be paid the work-study funds that you have been offered.
