The Federal Work-Study program allows you to help pay your way through school. These jobs typically offer flexible hours and a minimal commute, saving you time (and gas money!).

Plus, you will gain work experience and develop professional contacts that will be valuable once the post-degree job hunt begins.

Work-study jobs cover a wide range of activities. You may

•     Escort other students home at night

•     Work as a lifeguard at the HPER pool

•     Shelve books in a library

•     Proof documents

•     Answer the phone in an office

•     Tutor other students

It all depends on what's available each semester -- and the skills you bring to campus. Your financial aid officer will help you find the best possible match.

Hours vary depending on the job. Typically a student will work 10 to 12 hours per week, but no more than 20 hours a week. Salaries vary by job, ranging from minimum wage to $16/hour. The average wage is about $8/hour.
