The
Students may be eligible for work study, but must check the indicator box on the FAFSA.
If you qualify for work study, you will serve as a graduate research assistant to faculty
involved in research projects. The typical award amount for work study is equivalent to
approximately 15 hours of work per week for the student during the academic year. In order
for the Graduate School to make the best possible match between students’ interests /
experiences and faculty research projects, interested faculty members write a brief memo
to the Graduate Dean describing the research and the type of work a graduate work study
research assistant would be asked to perform. Faculty may request students by name, but
only students who are eligible for financial aid may receive work study awards.
Receiving work study funding does not guarantee you a
work study position.

Employment Center for additional information.
