Work-Study Orientation part 1

Work-study positions are hourly-wage jobs in which a student works for a department on campus according to a mutually agreed-upon schedule and is paid monthly for the hours worked. Work-study awards are not grants automatically applied towards one's tuition bill, nor is the amount of the award guaranteed. An award simply allows a student to participate in the program and sets a limit as to the amount of income a student can earn during the academic year. It is the responsibility of the student to work enough hours to reach the earnings limit and to budget the money wisely throughout the year to meet necessary college cost.

The College does not place students in jobs, nor can we guarantee a job but, the CAP Center and the Work-Study Coordinator act as a referral center for positions. The responsibility to get hired rests solely with the student.  However, our offices will do whatever possible to assist a student's job search.

There are over 65 jobs available through the Work-Study Program ranging from clerical to computer lab assistants. With a variety of positions available, we hope that students will find jobs which are both interesting and related to their career goals but we recognize that this is not always an option.
