Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work-Study Program offers students the opportunity to earn money that can be used to help meet their educational expenses. Jobs are available both on-campus and off-campus, and the current pay rate is $7.00/hour for undergraduate and $9.00/hour for graduate students. Effective June 5, 2006 the wages will increase to $8.00/hour for undergraduate and $10.00/hour for graduate students.

To be eligible, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and answer “Yes” to the question, “In addition to grants, are you interested in ‘work-study’ (which you earn through work)?” In addition, students must be matriculated in a degree-granting program and be enrolled for at least six equated credits for the fall or spring semester. Packaging for Federal Work-Study funds happens centrally, and preference is given to students who file the FAFSA in a timely fashion.
