Work-Study Programs

Federal Work-Study Program offers work-study programs

for both undergraduate and graduate students where the student can work part-time on campus or in the community to earn money to help pay for education expenses.

Students are paid at the federal minimum wage (or more) on an hourly basis —

the wage is dependent upon your skill set and work requirement. Graduate students may be paid hourly or by salary.

work assignments can be on-campus and off-campus work in public-related services. The amount of work is determined by your school and cannot exceed the Federal Work-Study award.
