Work-study is a job. Payment of work-study funds comes in the form of a paycheck, but only if a student secures a job and works the hours. The rate of pay for most work-study students is $7.75 per hour (effective Jan. 1, 2008). Graduate students and students working in community service positions off campus are paid $9.00 per hour (effective Jan. 1, 2008).
At Buffalo State College if a student is awarded work-study that gives them permission to search for a job. The job listings database is usually available one week before the start of a semester.
Once a student secures a job it is important that they complete the required employment paperwork, submit time cards per the payroll schedule and succeed in performing the job requirements to the supervisor's satisfaction.
Students interested in a job who are not work-study eligible should visit the Career Development Center in Grover Cleveland 306
