Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study Program provides part-time jobs for students who exhibit financial need based on their FAFSA®. Work-study allows students to earn money to help pay education expenses. A work-study employment award, when combined with all other resources, cannot exceed the student's need. WCJC offers jobs on or off campus allowing students to earn at least a minimum wage. A work-study employment award, when combined with all other resources, cannot exceed the student's need.

School is the number one priority and work study hours are scheduled around your classes. You may be eligible to work up to 20 hours per week, your pay is based on hours worked per week, and you will take home a paycheck at least once per month.

The program encourages community service work and work related to your course of study. You'll gain valuable workforce training and the money you earn with a work-study job will not lower your financial aid the following year.

• Must have financial need as determined by the FAFSA® or TASFA
