Federal Work-Study

Federal Work-Study is a program that promotes access to employment for students who demonstrate financial need. Available funds are provided by a federal allocation and a University matching contribution. Recipients are selected by the Graduate School Financial Aid Office and must meet federal need and other criteria. The Work-Study Office provides information to eligible students about available jobs in University departments as well as off-campus nonprofit agencies. Work-Study allocations may be used for community service programs. Graduate Work-Study students may be paid either weekly at established hourly rates or monthly at a fixed amount, depending on the nature of the job. Job assignments, which average 9–12 hours per week, are coordinated with the student’s class schedule. Detailed information on Work-Study can be found online at Student Employment. Specific inquiries about the program should be directed to the Work-Study Office, 881 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215; 617-353-3596; or e-mail us at wsoffice@bu.edu.
