Work-Study programs provide students with part-time employment that assists with their educational costs.
The Financial Aid Office oversees work-study programs that place students in a working position in various college departments to assist with clerical work and perform other duties. The Career Center works with students to complete the hiring process for all work-study jobs. Students earn $15 per hour and work a maximum of 20 hours per week. Students are paid on the 15th of the month. Precautions are taken to create a safe and secure environment for our work studies to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
