What is work study? 

When you apply for financial aid, work study is one type of aid for which you may qualify. Work study is not applied directly to your tuition account. Instead, you work at a job and receive a paycheck twice a month. Work study can be on or off campus. 

The name "work study" is confusing! You can't usually study while you are working at these jobs, but they are jobs designed for students with a flexible schedule that works around your classes. 

The maximum amount a student can earn is determined by financial need and funds available. Students can work up to 19 hours per week while school is in session. We work to match students with jobs that relate to their career pathway. 

Follow these steps:

Step 1
