Federal work study is the answer to finance your college education

Federal Work Study is a financial aid grant to San Jose City College used to employ students at various on-campus jobs.

The financial aid office administers these funds and at any time, there are 90 to 100 SJCC students employed through this financial aid program.

The minimum wage is currently $10.30 per hour. To qualify, students must be enrolled in courses with a minimum of six units and carry a 2.0 GPA at minimum.

There are a large variety of jobs available, such as student ambassadors, adaptive physical education aides, tutors and office positions. A sampling of available jobs can be found at www.sjcc.edu, on the Financial Aid and Scholarships page.

The work study program can be used in conjunction with the Board of Governor’s Fee Waiver to maximize a student’s ability to finance his/her college education.
