No! The Work Study Program is open to students at all points in their educational journey. Some roles have additional requirements, such as a minimum GPA (which would require completion of courses) for Peer Tutors, and this would be notated within the job description.

The maximum number of hours each student is eligible to work each week is dependent on the individual student's financial aid. A number of factors influence the amount of hours you can work, such as information from your FAFSA, your course load, the program in which you are enrolled, and the other types of aid you are receiving, among other things. Also note that these things can change, which means that your hours and eligibility can also change at any time, so they are never guaranteed. Additionally, the needs of the position may influence the actual number of hours you will work each week if hired.

Work Study employment is never guaranteed. For every position there are multiple candidates and not every student is eligible to participate in the Work Study Program. Every student is treated equally and the most qualified candidate will be offered the position.

Work Study students receive a paycheck for the hours they work, similar to traditional employment.

You can complete an application online. Once completed and fully signed, the application is automatically sent directly to the Work Study team for initial eligibility review.

Applications are reviewed within three business days of submission. If a candidate is eligible from a financial aid standpoint, the application is routed to the hiring supervisor for the position noted on the application. Qualified students are then contacted for an interview.
