College Work-Study is a need-based program that is awarded to eligible students
who
indicated an interest in the program on the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). Work-Study funds are limited, and are awarded to students on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
Federal College Work Study provides jobs to students with financial need, allowing
them to earn money to help pay for education expenses. Students who are eligible
for College Work-Study can earn up to the amount listed on their award letter or
until Western’s total College Work-Study allocation is exhausted.
College Work Study students are paid on a semi-monthly basis (around the 10th and
26th of each month), based on the number of hours worked. College Work Study money
is earned and paid to the student, and is not deducted from the student’s Western
account.
Work-Study students must have a minimum of six credits, during the academic year,
to qualify to work under this program. Positions are available at on-campus and
off-campus sites.
Fall and Spring Work-Study students can work 10 hours per week with compensation
of $8.00/hour.
Summer Work-Study students can begin work on July 1st and can work up to 30 hours
per week. Summer 2013 Work-Study awards are available to students who will be attending
the 2013-2014 academic year. A 2013/14 FAFSA must be completed prior to Summer
2013 for Summer work awards. Students enrolled in Summer credit classes are
NOT eligible to work
under the Summer Work-Study program.
When a student is awarded College Work-Study and accepts their award via their MyWestern
portal, a questionnaire will be emailed to the student for completion.
Once completed and returned to Heather Marx, a Work Study Supervisor will contact
the student to set up an interview.
If hired, students will need to meet with Heather Marx. Her office is located in
the
Administrative Building on the corner of 7th and Main Streets. Students will need
to show two forms of identification.
Further questions about College Work-Study may be addressed to the Work-Study Coordinator
Heather Marx at 608-785-9594 or workstudy@westerntc.edu.
