Work-Study Employers

What is Work-Study?

The Work-Study Program was created to stimulate and promote part-time employment for students who have financial need. It allows students to meet their educational expenses and provides an opportunity for students to gain work experience, as well as providing essential services to the University and the community.

Employers should work closely with their employees to submit the required documentation in a timely manner, as Work-Study is administered on a first-come, first-served basis. Once funds are depleted, the aid will no longer be available. For more information, select the appropriate employer type.
