DIXIE STATE COLLEGE’S WORK STUDY PROGRAM
Dixie State College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Employer.
- College work study funds are part of a student’s financial aid package and cannot be awarded unless you have submitted a FAFSA and have documented need. You can complete the FAFSA on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- Work study funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Because of limited funds, you should apply for financial aid early if you wish to participate in the work study program.
- A work study award generally allows you to work 15-20 hours a week. The starting salary is $7.25 per hour
- Work study occurs during the Fall and Spring Semesters only; there are no positions available during Summer.
The Federal Work Study Program is authorized and funded by the Federal Government. The UCOPE Work Study Program is authorized and funded by the Utah State Legislature. Only the Office of Financial Assistance may award work study funds. Eligible students will receive their work study award as part of their “total” financial aid award.
If work study isn’t part of your financial aid award and you are interested in working on campus, please contact the work study coordinator, Roberta Cole at (435) 652-7584 or rcole@dixie.edu. If you did not receive a work study offer, and you qualify, we will consider you for any positions still available after the third week of August.
YOU HAVE A WORK STUDY OFFER ON YOUR AWARD LETTER – WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
- Complete the Work Study Application for Employment no sooner than August 1, 2007 at www.dixie.edu/financial/employment/workapp.php. Be sure to complete each item; especially a current phone number where you can be reached. Once you submit the application, it will be forwarded to the Office of Financial Assistance.
- VIEW and SELECT the work study positions you are interested in applying for by completing the position listings on www.dixie.edu/financial/employment/positions.php. All available positions will be posted on August 1st of the current school year.
- Once we receive your “Work Study Application”, your selection for positions, and you have a work study award, we will forward your application material to the department(s) you have selected for their consideration. You will be contacted by the department’s work study supervisor to set up an interview appointment.
- A work study award is not a guaranteed job. The responsibility of locating a job is up to you.
- For additional information regarding Work Study (funding, notification of work awards, necessary information to complete before first day of work; pay periods, etc), log on to The Employment Handbook www.dixie.edu/financial/employment/employee.php.
