What is work-study?

Work study is a financial aid award that you earn by working. It is not a grant or a loan. You get a paycheck for hours you work, up to the amount of your award for the year.

Federal Work-Study is awarded based on financial need
DePauw (Institutional) Work-Study is DePauw funding set aside to give students the opportunity to work on campus.

Either type lets you apply for any position on the student employment job board. Federal Work-Study students can also be paid for community service through off-campus opportunities. Work-study eligibility is determined by the financial aid process, and you'll see it in your financial aid package.
