Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study and General Employment programs provide part-time
campus-based employment to students who have demonstrated financial need. The student
is awarded an amount which is worked during the school year. The student's gross pay
cannot exceed the amount awarded. Students are responsible for keeping track of hours
worked, and ensuring they do not overwork their award amount. Students are paid the
equivalent of the current Federal minimum wage rate ($5.15 per hour). State and
Federal income taxes are deducted from the student's wages based on the information
provided on the W-4 and state withholding tax form. These wages are earned on a
monthly basis and do not appear as reductions to the student's account until the
student actually remits his or her payroll check to the College.
Student employees are expected to apply their monthly earnings
toward their account with the College (this is done through the business office)
unless provisions are made to meet a student's account balance through other
resources. If a student is anticipating a refund from loan proceeds, the College
will deduct the semester amount of the work award from the loan refund before
disbursing a refund to the student. Once a student's account balance is clear,
the student may keep their monthly earnings.
The Office of Financial Planning maintains a list of job
openings for Federal Work-Study and General Employment. The student is responsible
for checking the list, setting up interviews, and obtaining a job. We cannot
guarantee the availability of specific jobs. Off-campus Federal Work-Study options
are available for students who may wish to gain practical experience with a local
business or agency.
