College Work-Study is a program administered by the Financial Aid Office and is part of a student’s financial aid package. Work-study funding is provided by the federal or state government. Your eligibility for work-study is determined by the Financial Aid Office, based on information provided on the FAFSA. Although it is awarded much like Pell Grants and other forms of aid, the method for receiving the money you have been awarded for work-study is different. It works like any other job; you are paid bi-weekly for the hours actually worked. The paycheck is issued directly to you, the student; it is not applied to your student account.

Work-study students earn $15 per hour. Students can work up to 20 hours per week; weekly hours will be determined by the needs of the department. During the course of the school year you cannot earn more than the amount of your work-study award.

Work-study is an excellent opportunity for both the student and the employer. It allows you to work for an office or organization on campus. You have a job with a schedule that revolves around your school schedule. Work-study earnings are taxed at a lower rate than regular earnings, and the following year work-study earnings are excluded as income on the FAFSA.

Great Falls College has a limited amount of funds available under the work-study program, and it is first-come, first-served. If you are interested in work-study, but work-study was not included in your aid package, you can contact the Financial Aid Office to be placed on the work-study waiting list.
