Work Study Program
The Federal and State work study programs provide part-time employment for students who demonstrate financial need in order to off-set the cost of higher education. Work Study employment allows students the opportunity to earn their aid and is not intended to interfere with a student's education. Student's studies are given first priority. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student’s course of study.
Students who require financial assistance may apply for the Federal, or Texas Work Study Program. The Federal Work Study Program provides on-campus and off-campus part-time employment for undergraduate students. The work study program enables students who are enrolled in at least 6 eligible hours to help pay for their college related expenses. Review the Student Financial Aid website for more details; availability of work study positions will be found on-line at the financial aid website www.laredo.edu.cms.fa. Students under work-study must meet Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards.
