Work-Study lets you work and earn money to help pay for your costs. It is a need-based employment opportunity given to you as part of your financial aid package.
| Program | Description | Eligibility | Amount | Terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Federal Work-Study | Federally subsidized employment program awarded by UC | Based on financial need; early FAFSA application | Earning eligibility to $3,000 | Unlike other aid that is credited to the bill, bi-weekly paycheck received based on hours worked; hourly wage depends on job responsibilities |
| Federal Work-Study - Summer | Same as above | Based on financial need; application available beginning February 1 | Earning eligibility to $2,500 | Same as above |
Notes:
- Must be admitted into a degree program to receive work-study.
- Eligibility criteria subject to change; maximum amounts are estimates and dependent upon sufficient funding.
- Early FAFSA application means limited funding; awards are made on a first-come, first-serve basis until funding is depleted.
