Work-Study
- Federal Work-Study is a student financial aid program for eligible
undergraduate and graduate students with high financial need.
- All students who answer "yes" to the question "In addition to
grants, are you interested in 'work-study'?" on the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web are considered for Work-Study for
fall and spring semesters. (Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid
program, so not all students who answer "yes" on the FAFSA receive a
work-study award.) If you are interested in summer work-study, please
review the appropriate related link to the right.
- Work-Study allows you to earn money to cover a portion of your
educational expenses by working within your college or campus, a
University office, or an off-campus, nonprofit organization. Positions
are available at every Penn State campus.
- Federal Work-Study will not be credited towards your tuition bill.
Work-Study recipients are paid every two weeks and earn at least $8.50
per hour.
- If you are awarded Federal Work-Study, it is your responsibility to
find a Work-Study position.
- As with all aid programs, work-study recipients must maintain
eligibility requirements.
- Important: If you do not begin working by the end
of the second week of fall semester, your fall/spring award will be
canceled. In order to hold your Federal Work-Study Award until
you secure a position, access Work Study Extension on
eLion.
