Types of Aid

Work

Federal Work-Study is a need-based federally subsidized program that provides part-time employment to undergraduate students. To be eligible, students must demonstrate financial need, as determined by the FAFSA. For students who would like to be considered for Federal Work-Study, it is important to ensure the FAFSA is submitted prior to the priority filing deadline date, as this is a limited fund.  Students who secure a work study position are typically paid through direct deposit and may use their earnings to help with expenses during the academic year.

There are also a number of general student employment opportunities available for eligible students. The amount earned will be determined by the pay rate and hours worked.
