Graduate Student Work-Study

Graduate Work Program

Graduate Financial Aid, in collaboration with Graduate Studies and individual academic departments, awards Work-Study to graduate students based on student eligibility, as determined by the student's FAFSA need analysis, and the completion of any open financial or federal aid requirements.

To be considered for Work-Study funding, graduate students are required to:

  • File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available online at fafsa.ed.gov.
  • Work with their academic Program Coordinator to inquire about being hired and awarded a Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) Work-Study position. Academic program staff, in conjuntion with faculty, hire the GSRs and notify students when Work-Study awards are posted online.
