Employment

Student employment is a practical way to help: (1) defer the cost of your education; (2) gain useful experience in your field while in school. 
There are two different types of student employment as follows:  

College Work-Study Program (FWSP) 
This program provides part-time employment for students with financial need who are making satisfactory academic progress toward their educational goal. 
Eligible students must satisfy Financial Aid Standards of Academic Progress, and maintain minimum enrollment of six credit hours. The rate is $7.00per hour and most students work between 15 to 18.5 hours per week. 
The amount students can earn is dependent upon their financial need and other aid awarded. The majority of students are employed on campus; however, some off-campus opportunities for employment are available.
