• It's a need-based financial aid award.
• It's not a grant since you must work to earn it and it's not a loan since you don't have to pay it back.
• Since there is limited funding, the program is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
• A Work Study award does not guarantee employment, you must complete the steps below.

Steps to Apply for an On Campus Work Study Job

Step 1  Check your Financial Aid Award in ctcLink to verify if you have been offered Work Study. Students who are eligible are automatically awarded the funds. If you do not see work study on your award letter, stop by the One Stop in Building 22 for help determining if it can be added to your award. 

Step 2  Head over to Handshake, log into your student account and review the positions that indicate that they are work study eligible. 

Step 3  Submit your resume and follow-up with any requests by an employer to have you come in for an interview. 

Once an employer selects you for a work study position, they will send your information to our Work Study Specialist who will review your paperwork and contact you to bring in your documents that verify your eligibility to work in the United States. 

When you've completed your paperwork, it will be forwarded to HR and they will let us know when you are ready to work. The Work Study Specialist will then email you with your start date and employment information.
