Generally, to be eligible for Work Study funding, you must have completed the following steps:
– Submitted your FAFSA or WASFA for the academic year
– Indicated interest in Work Study on the application
– Are eligible for Financial Aid funding

The best first step is to check your ctcLink Financial Aid ’tile’. If you do not see any Work Study awards, that does not necessarily mean you are not eligible. You can contact the Financial Aid office or work with the department staff for the position you are interested in to review your eligibility. Don’t forget, we do have some positions that do not require Work Study eligibility!

Student employment, regardless of work study eligibility, is a real job on campus. If you successfully obtain a position within one of our departments, you will receive a regular paycheck throughout the quarter based on the employer’s pay schedule. Since you must earn these funds, they are not available at the beginning of the quarter to help you pay tuition and fees or purchase books.

This will depend on your Work Study award, or the amount of funding within the department. The average student works between 8-12 hours per week. Once you are hired, you will work with your supervisor to determine your hours. Student employees cannot work more than 19 hours per week.

The general rule is that you must be enrolled in at least 6 credits during the quarter you are receiving Work Study funding. However, there are some exceptions. Please work with your supervisor if you anticipate a quarter at less than half time enrollment (under 6 credits).
