Work-Study options for Central Penn students

Work-study is a need-based federal employment program that provides an opportunity for students to earn money while earning their degrees. Students can work before, between or after classes. Students must demonstrate financial need and be willing to work.

Students are encouraged to see the Financial Aid Office during the first week of classes each term. The Financial Aid Office will then determine your eligibility and give you a list of employers. Students will have the opportunity to work on or off-campus. It is up to the student to secure a position.
