Admissions & Aid

Work-Study Awards

The Federal College Work-Study program (FCWS) provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing you to earn money to help pay educational expenses. It does not reduce tuition or fees. The total award depends on when you apply, your level of need and the school's funding level. You must apply for financial aid to be considered.

Eligibility and Process

A reminder: to be considered for work study you must have a completed FAFSA, and have a completed financial aid file in our office.

If you receive an award, you must go to the Student Employment office to complete employment paper work and contracts. You must also have the appropriate documentation (originals ONLY, no copies).

Job postings can be found on the bulletin boards located in the main hallway of the Administration Building on North Campus. You may also find them online.

IMPORTANT: Students receiving work-study awards are expected to secure a job placement within three (3) weeks of the semester's start. Students who have not secured a position by the end of three weeks may have their work-study award rescinded.

 

WORK STUDY WAIT LIST:

The Work Study waitlist is currently closed.

Students awarded from the wait list will be notified via email beginning the first week of October.
