One portion of the financial aid award is referred to as "Work-Study" and is earned in some form of campus employment. The work-study offer may vary
and students should refer to their award letter. The standard offer is usually $2,100 for first year students (9-10 hrs/wk) and $2,526 for upper-class
students (10-12 hrs/wk).
NOTE: During the academic year, any work done on campus during breaks is still counted as work-study but work done during Interterm will not.
Off-Campus Work-Study earnings are still counted during Interterm.
Students receiving work-study have priority for all jobs, but are not required to work and may choose not to do so, or may choose to work a minimal
number of hours for personal reasons. Some students supplement or replace their work-study income by working at an off-campus non-work-study job in
the community.
The work-study component of financial aid is an opportunity, not a guarantee. Responsibility for obtaining the hours available through work-study
rests with the student. If a student's schedule allows her little time for work during the week, she may find it necessary to seek weekend work.
Schedules, especially those including sports, can be very limiting, and students must be prepared to be as flexible as possible to work around them.
Students may request assistance from the Student Employment Coordinator in locating jobs if the job search is particularly difficult. However, the
student is responsible for following up and obtaining the hours she needs after she is informed of job openings. If a student chooses not to work
the work-study can remain available to her or she can choose to replace it with a loan option.
