Eligible EFSC students can apply for work-study positions through our online system. Review the details below and follow the steps to check out open positions and apply online. Don't miss out on work-study money as part of your aid package!
Work-Study
The federal work-study program is part of your aid package that facilitates part-time jobs, both on- and off-campus, that allow you to earn up to $2,000 to $7,500 per year toward your expenses while in college. These positions are need-based and have flexible hours that work around your class and exam schedules.
Review the details below about how to apply for a work-study job using our online system. If you're hired for a position, you'll earn an hourly wage and be permitted to work up to 28 hours per week.
Before being considered for a work study position, the student must have a GPA of 2.0 or higher, and cannot be on an Academic Plan or an SAP Appeal.
Work-study funds are distributed via biweekly paychecks over the course of the term and cannot be used to pay your EFSC invoice, as the fee due date occurs before the start of the term. You can use the funds to pay day-to-day expenses while in college, such as food, transportation, and school supplies.
If you have questions about work-study, either as a student or potential off- or on-campus employer, email workstudy@easternflorida.edu or call 321-433-7339. For questions about other types of financial aid at EFSC, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
How to Find a Work-Study Position
Follow the steps below and be sure to apply for financial aid through the FAFSA as early as possible so you can find out if work-study will be part of your aid offer. Because work-study requires financial need, not everyone qualifies. Since your financial situation can change, you must reapply each academic year. Depending on departmental and community needs, the availability of work-study jobs may differ each term so check back here for open positions.
