Since some colleges start posting available work-study positions as early as the summer, students looking to get their first choice of campus jobs in the fall may want to get a head start by already having their résumé and cover letter written and polished. The Federal Work-Study Program provides part-time jobs for both undergraduate and graduate students with qualifying financial need and encourages students to participate in community service and try out employment opportunities related to their course of study. Work-study jobs are required to pay at least the current federal minimum wage but might pay more, depending on the type of work the student does and the skills required.
