At institutions of higher education, students can work on or off campus to earn money for educational expenses while they are enrolled. At Alfred University, part-time employment opportunities are available based on financial need or without regard to need. Many of our students participate in College Work-Study, the need-based employment program, while others secure employment which is not based on financial need (non-work-study employment).

Eligibility:
Students with financial need. Must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Value:
Financial need determines the amount students may earn. The average CWS employee works 5-12 hours per week during the academic year at the minimum wage rate. Students receive a biweekly paycheck of earnings.

How Determined:
Administered by the Student Financial Aid Office, based on financial need as determined by the Federal Need Analysis Methodology.
