Work-Study Programs
Work-Study programs offer the chance to earn college funds by working a part-time job on campus or at community service agencies. You can apply for work-study jobs that match your interests, skills and career plans. Work-Study programs allow students to earn money for school-related expenses while understanding that school comes first.
Work-Study is offered as both a federal program from the U.S. Department of Education and through Carolina Works, which is funded by the University.
