Eligible students have a work component as part of the financial aid package, and the amount is directly tied to the estimated $1,800 cost of books and personal expenses. Students are not required to work, but if you do not the College will not replace this portion of your aid. The recommended job at the beginning pay rate would assume approximately 9 hours of work per week. Student accounts are not credited with the amount offered as work-study; instead, students are paid every two weeks for the hours worked.
Employment On-Campus
It is your responsibility to find a job once on campus; more information is available from our office, or visit our FWSP website at www.trincoll.edu/depts/finaid/FWSP/overview.htm.
Employment Off-Campus
If you decide you would like to work at one of our approved off-campus nonprofit agencies, first review the jobs being offered at the FWSP job posting site www.trincoll.edu/depts/finaid/FWSP/joblist.asp. Once you are hired by the off campus agency, both you and your employer must complete a work authorization form. Once this form is completed and returned to the Office of Financial Aid you may begin work.
