Work Study

Salem College students may be eligible to participate in a work-study program on campus. The work-study program is available to students who demonstrate financial need after completing the FAFSA and after other financial aid resources have been assessed.

If a student is eligible for work-study, it will appear on their financial aid award letter. While the award of work-study is an offer of employment, it is not a guarantee of earnings. Students must secure their own employment with one of the hiring departments. Students may earn up to $4,000 in an academic year. A student may not earn the entire awarded amount if they do not work all of their hours.

Please keep in mind that since work-study is not a guarantee of earnings, it will not be reflected on the billing statement from the Business Office. Students are responsible for paying the entire amount shown on the bill. If a student decides to participate in work-study, they will receive a paycheck each month for any hours actually completed.
