Work Study is a financial aid program that allows an undergraduate or graduate student to work on-campus or with approved off-campus employers to earn money to pay for college expenses. Work Study is not a grant (you must work to earn it), and it is not a loan (you don't have to repay it).
Work Study is a form of financial aid which provides employment opportunities on campus and in the local community. Students earn a paycheck for the hours worked and the funds earned are not subtracted from the tuition bill. Work study earnings are subject to federal income tax like other jobs.
Financial aid for graduate students is primarily limited to student loans, scholarships, and work study. Eligibility for financial aid is determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on an annual basis.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE? You are eligible if you're training in a college degree, vocational, or professional program at least three-quarter time. You can receive a work-study allowance (in addition to your education benefits) based on the number of hours of work you perform.
