Federal Work-Study is awarded to students who demonstrate financial need. Eligible students are able to select from a wide range of positions including jobs in Residential Life, Athletics, and various admininstrative offices. Students also have the option to work off campus in a community service capacity. Generally, students work between six to ten hours a week but can work a maximum of twenty hours per week. Federal Work-Study students earn $8.00 per hour and are paid on a weekly basis. Most students use these earnings to pay for books and other personal expenses. 

Institutional Student Employment (Bursary) is offered by individual offices and departments to full time students. Students can check for the availability of Bursary positions on the University Blackboard site or inquire at the Career Services Office. Bursary students are paid on a weekly basis and may work up to twenty hours per week. Students with multiple jobs are still held to the twenty hour a week maximum.
