The Federal Government and the Minnesota Office of Higher Education fund the work study programs.
The work study programs provide part-time jobs for students with financial need. If hired for a work study position, the student will be paid an hourly wage bi-weekly for the hours worked. The beginning hourly rate is $14.00 an hour.
The hours a student may work depend upon the student's financial need, class schedule, and the job. Jobs are located on-campus, and off-campus with public or private non-profit agencies which have made arrangements with South Central College.
Eligibility for the work study program includes:
- Enrollment of at least six credits
- Completion of the Work Study Application
- Completion of the FAFSA and eligible for work study funds
- No academic or financial aid holds
Work study employment is also available during the summer. Whenever possible, students are assigned to positions in their field of study or interest.
If interested in the work study program, complete the online Work Study Application (available positions are listed on the first page of the application).
