Work study

Work-study programs offer students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience while earning money for college. Both on-campus and off-campus positions are available.

Students receive their work study funds in the form of a paycheck from their employer based on their hourly wage and the number of hours they have worked in any given pay period. Because work study funds must be earned, they are not available at the beginning of the quarter to help students pay their tuition and fees or purchase their books.

• Federal work study
• State work study
