Work-study and campus jobs

Flexible hours around classes.

4 min read

Campus jobs often fit around class schedules better than off-campus work. If your aid includes Federal Work-Study, you still need to find and get a job to earn it.

Tips

  • Look early; popular jobs fill fast
  • Ask the financial aid office how work-study earnings are paid
  • Keep hours manageable during exams
  • Choose jobs that build skills for your field when you can
