How It WorksÂ
Work-Study is a federally-subsidized hourly wage job program. For example, if a department pays you $10/hr., it costs their budget a net of $5/hr. This is why Work-study is considered an "award."
The number of hours you work each week are based on how many hours you feel you can fit into your schedule, how much you are eligible for, and what your employers needs are.
