Work study

2024-2025: For students

Due to ongoing delays with implementing the new FAFSA, aid notifications for the 2024-25 aid year are delayed. Notifications can be viewed on your Financial Aid Dashboard in MyPCC. Work-study awards are not automatically added to aid offers. Please go to our alert page for the most current information regarding Financial Aid Processing.

Once you have received your aid offer, complete the 24-25 Work-Study Student Interest Form if you would like to know about your eligibility. Please note: You must use your PCC email to complete the form. The Work-Study Team will get back to you and confirm whether or not you are eligible along with instructions on how to look for a job.

2024-2025: For supervisors

All current and potential supervisors must review the 2024-25 FWS Supervisor Handbook. To check on a specific student’s FWS eligibility (if FWS offer is not displayed on their award letter), email workstudy@pcc.edu with student’s name and G# to confirm eligibility.

What is work study?

The Federal Work-Study Program provides part-time jobs for students with financial need. In many ways, work study jobs are like normal part-time jobs – you have job duties, get regular paychecks, and use the money to pay for educational expenses. But these jobs have additional perks:

  • Flexible schedules: work study employers understand that being a student is your top priority
  • Good jobs: jobs that can lead to long-term positions and look great on resumes
  • Decreased debt: earn instead of borrowing in order to graduate with less debt

How do I get work study?

Work study is part of federal financial aid, so to get a work study job, you must first apply for financial aid. To qualify for federal work study, you must be eligible to complete a FAFSA. ORSAA students are not eligible for work study. International Students are also not eligible for work study.
