Federal and State Work Study
Student Employment
Student employment is a form of financial aid that does not get directly credited to the student’s tuition bill. It is provided to help cover incidental expenses that the student incurs. Students receive a a bi-weekly paycheck for the hours worked. The student can earn up to the amount of the award. Since student employment is based on availability of work on campus, the Financial Aid Office cannot guarantee that the student will earn his/her maximum award.
