Who is eligible for Federal College Work Study?
Federal College Work Study Program is a federally funded financial aid program which provides employment opportunities for students who need money for educational expenses. Work Study is awarded as part of your overall financial aid package and allows you to earn money to help pay indirect educational costs such as off-campus living costs and miscellaneous expenses. Work Study funds are NOT applied directly to your account. You will receive a bi-weekly paycheck once you begin employment.
Positions are generally limited to those offered on campus or offered off campus by public or private non-profit organizations. Federal Work Study funds cannot be used to pay for work which is religious, political, or performed for the benefit of a private individual. As a Work Study employee you cannot be hired to replace regular employees, and all hiring practices must comply with existing civil rights regulations.
In addition to many interesting and challenging positions offered by our traditional Federal Work Study Program, the University of Maine at Presque Isle also strives in developing positions which are designed to improve the quality of life for community residents. These positions may or may not be on campus and will be listed separately on position listings. If you would like information about community service opportunities please contact Jennie Savage, located in the Office of Financial Aid (Preble Hall). Her office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., telephone: (207) 768-9513, email: savagej@umpi.maine.edu.
