Work Study Authorization

What is Work-Study?

Work-Study provides part-time jobs for undergraduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. Work-study programs encourage community service work and work related to the student’s course of study. The student will be paid directly for the hours they work and the amount they earn cannot exceed the total amount awarded by the school for the award year. 

Work-Study allows on-campus and select off-campus employers to hire students at a reduced cost. The program pays 75% of the student’s wages through financial aid where the rest is paid by the employer.
