Work-Study Waitlist

Not all eligible students receive a Work-Study award automatically. Read on for information about the Work-Study waitlist.

• The Work-Study waitlist is comprised of students who have expressed interest in Work-Study, located a potential Work-Study employer, and for whom that employer has submitted an Employer Request for Student Work-Study Form to the Student Employment Office.
• The Student Employment Office reviews available funding after each biweekly pay period. If the amount of Work-Study that students have already earned is less than our projection, we will likely award Work-Study to students on the waitlist.
• There is no guarantee that students on the waitlist will be awarded Work-Study.
• Students should be clear about whether or not they have been awarded Work-Study when speaking with prospective employers. Employers are free to hire students as hourly student employees if they choose.
• A student's position on the Work-Study waitlist is determined by multiple factors, including the student's financial need.
• It may be necessary for a student to reduce other types of financial aid (such as loans) to "make room" for Work-Study in the total financial aid award. If aid adjustments are necessary at the time we are prepared to award Work-Study to a student, we will contact the student before making any adjustments.
