Work-Study

You are here: Home / Work-Study

Work-study is a federal student-aid program designed to help students earn money for school.

While work-study will not cover all college expenses, it can be an incredibly beneficial asset to chipping away at part of those costs.

How to qualify for work-study:

  1. Students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. Click the box that says “Are you interested in being considered for work-study.”
  2. Students are responsible for finding their own work-study.
  3. Nearly 3,400 post-secondary institutions are set up to receive these funds.
  4. Students can work for a private non-profit, a private for-profit, a state or local agency and even the institution you’re planning to attend.
  5. Work-study can be on or off-campus.
  6. It is advised that students fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible because some aid is awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
  7. Work-study funds are not directly applied to your college tuition. You will receive a paycheck, just like a normal job.
  8. The jobs are not guaranteed every year, you will need to apply each year.

For more information on the federal student work-study program, visit ed.gov.
