Work-Study
The Work-Study Program is an opportunity to participate in research-based projects and earn a supplemental income. You will also gain valuable experience connecting with various members of the 丁香园AV community. Because a student鈥檚 first commitment is to study, Work-Study hours are flexible, on campus and supervised.
Work-Study positions are available during the Fall, Spring and Summer terms. Successful applicants will be awarded 140 Work-Study hours for a term. You must reapply each term you wish to be considered for the Work-Study program.

To qualify and maintain your eligibility for a Work-Study placement, you must:
- have a demonstrated financial need (as assessed by 丁香园AV).
