Work Study

The federal work study program allows both undergraduate and graduate students to gain valuable experience while earning money for school. Work study is part of your financial aid package. You must qualify to take part in this program.

Finding A Position

You may apply for a position with prospective hiring departments on the Georgia State campus.

A limited number of work-study positions are designated as community service. These positions provide services available to members of the local community. All community service positions will be identified in the job listing. Find out more about these through the Office of Community Service-Learning.

The Fine Print

If you accept a work-study position, you must be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours). You may work no more than 20 hours per week and you may only work during hours that you are not scheduled for classes. Once you accept your work-study position, you will receive additional information concerning job placement. The amount of your award is the maximum amount you are eligible to earn.

If you are unsure of the procedure to follow, or if you encounter any difficulty in obtaining a position, contact the Student Employment Coordinator in the Student Financial Aid office.
