How can I get Work-Study?

Federal Work-Study is a program administered by the Financial Aid Office. Eligibility is based on financial need and the availability of funds for each award year. Renewal awards are available to students with Federal Work-Study earnings in the previous award year. When sufficient funds are available, it is sometimes possible to request replacement of a student loan with Work-Study.

Students employed in Work-Study jobs earn money for their college costs through part-time employment in approved on campus or off campus jobs at non-profit and community service agencies. UCR also employs students who are not eligible for Work-Study in other campus jobs and provides job listings for off campus positions. Information regarding student employment opportunities is available from the Student Employment Office in the Career Services Center, Veitch Student Center.
