Work Study
The Federal College Work Study Program
enables a student to work 15-20 hours per week on
campus. This is a need-based program and students
must qualify for financial aid. Students who qualify
for the program will work in various areas of the college
as long as funds are available.
The Triton Work Study program is a non-need
based program. The number of hours per week a student
can work is based on the position and its allocation.
Students can find out more information on both
programs through the Work Study Office located in
the Financial Aid Office, Room C-216W in the College
Center.
Students wishing to work off campus may investigate
job listings in the Job Opportunity Bulletin or
