Work-study jobs are part-time jobs available on and off campus. If you have a work-study job, the U.S. government pays part of your wages. How much you earn depends on how many hours you work (usually 15-20 per week) and your hourly pay rate. If you don’t receive a work-study job or you want to earn more, you can always apply for non-work-study positions.
You can find work-study positions available on-campus through our job board, Handshake. We partner with local non-profits for some work-study jobs with off-campus duties. Contact Human Resources or the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships to discuss all available opportunities.
Before you apply for a work-study eligible position, make sure you have a work-study award on your financial aid account. If not, contact the Office of Financial Aid to find out if you’re eligible.
