Work-study is a need-based financial aid program (Federal and State) that assists students seeking part-time student employment. This “self-help” aid helps students develop professional skills and experience by working on-campus or off-campus with a pre-approved organization. 

Eligibility

• Submit the FAFSA for the current aid year and demonstrate financial need

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen

• Be enrolled at least half-time for the semester (5 credit hours for graduate and 6 credit hours for undergraduate students)

• Meet Lamar University’s Satisfactory Academic Policy Requirements
