Interested in getting some work experience that aligns with your career goals or maybe a job that helps support the campus or community?
These are the types of part-time jobs that the Federal Work Study Program prioritizes.
The program provides funding for part-time jobs for eligible students to help pay for college and many Madison College students benefit from the program each year.
To be eligible you must:
- Demonstrate financial need by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- Be enrolled in 6 eligible credits.
Work Study students receive a paycheck every two weeks based on the number of hours worked. But you should know that the Work Study wages are capped at whatever the Federal Work Study Program awards you based on financial need and program funds availability.
