Utilizing Your Work-Study Award

 

Work-Study is a financial aid program that offers hourly employment to students. As an employment program, students are paid for the hours they work.

It is not necessary for students to have secured a job before or immediately upon arriving on campus. Work-Study jobs are available throughout the year. Students must apply for the position and be hired by the employer. Most available jobs are listed on Jobnet; however, students with specific employment interests may want to contact an employer directly. To view Work-Study jobs on Jobnet, the student will need a Work-Study code (password) that can be found on their award notification, available on ISIS (click on Student Records, then Award Notification). A variety of on- and off-campus employers attend the Student Job Fair to interview students and accept job applications. Some employers will hire students the day of the fair.

Employers will require verification of a student's Work-Study award during the job interview. Students may print a copy of their award information from ISIS (click Student Records, then Award Notification).

Work-Study employment dates for the 2013-2014 academic year are August 18, 2013 through May 24, 2014. Students may apply for and accept a Work-Study job at any time, but may not begin working before August 18, 2013.

Student hourly work limitations are established by State of Iowa Law. Students may work a maximum number of 20 hours per week during the academic year.  However, students may work a maximum of 40 hours per week during Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks and over the summer.
