Federal Work-Study

Work-study awards are earned as wages by working on and off campus with eligible employers. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of eligible work-study jobs. You must apply for a work-study job and be hired in order to use the eligibility offered on your award notification. Work-study wages do NOT credit to your Bursar’s Office account; you earn wages for work performed and receive a bi-weekly paycheck.

In order to work under the Federal Work-Study program, you must:

• Be enrolled for at least 6 credit hours per semester
• Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA
• Work a maximum of 20 hours per week
