Student Employment - Work Study
Student employment (work study) is an excellent opportunity for students to get real workplace experience while also earning money to help with the costs associated with going to college. Unlike other types of financial aid, work study earnings are not applied directly to your tuition and fees. Students who are awarded work study positions receive the funds in a paycheck as they earn them, based on hours worked, just like a normal job. ATCC student employment positions are funded through either the Federal or State Work Study program.
Benefits
- Positions are on-campus or off-campus with local non-profit employers
- Flexibility to accommodate your class schedule
- Majority of employment is tied to the ATCC school calendar
- Positions average 5-20 hours per week]
- Hourly wage: $15.00, bi-weekly pay checks
- Many positions relate to career interests - Great way to build your résumé and gain valuable references
Requirements:
- Student eligibility is determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- Must be actively enrolled in at least six (6) credits
