Work study positions are based on financial need. You must have applied and received federal financial aid to be eligible. Once accepted, you can take part or all of your financial award in the form of work study, rather than loans. For example, if you choose to take $1000 of your financial aid in work study, you can work in any work study position and earn up to $1000 for that academic year. This eliminates the need for some loans and saves you interest payments in the future. In order to take advantage of this, call the Financial Aid office at 424-3377.

These positions are very common on campus (there are also some positions in the community), and positions are easy to find if you look. The Division employs 5-10 work study students each semester. Stop in Dempsey 146 or 131 and ask for a Student Employee Application Form.
