Federal Work-Study Program

This is a part-time employment program based on financial need. A work-study award is paid biweekly at an hourly rate based on hours worked. Wage rates reflect both the level of responsibilities and the experience of the student worker. Eligibility is determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid, using information from the FAFSA. The Center for Career and Life Design helps students with work-study awards identify opportunities both on and off campus; however, Rhode Island College cannot guarantee that a student will secure a work-study position. Federal Work Study funds for graduate student is very limited.
