Work Study
Work-Study is a federally-subsidized hourly wage job program. For example, if a department pays you $10/hr., it costs their budget a net of $5/hr. There are three advantages for the Work-Study student:
- The subsidy makes you a highly sought-after employee.
- Work-Study earnings do not count against your aid eligibility when you fill out next year's FAFSA.
- Work-Study gives you the opportunity to earn part of your college costs rather than increase your loans. The less debt you graduate with, the more choices you'll have in life.
Who is eligible for a Work-Study job?
Students who receive financial aid from UCB and have Work-Study as part of their financial aid package.
