Work Study

When you apply for federal financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you can indicate on your application that you want work-study assistance.

To get started on your FAFSA, follow the link.

What types of jobs are available?
If you work on campus, you'll usually work for your school. If you work off campus, your employer will usually be a private nonprofit organization or a public agency, and the work performed must be in the public interest. Your school may also have agreements with private for-profit employers for Federal Work-Study jobs. This type of job must be relevant to your course of study (to the extent possible).
