Work Study

Federal Work-Study is a form of financial aid. To receive work-study funds, you must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and indicate that you would like to be considered for work-study.

NYIT’s Office of Financial Aid determines if you qualify for a work-study award and the amount. You earn that amount working on campus or at an off-campus non-profit or community service agency. When you have earned all the money, you must stop working immediately. Work-study jobs run from July 1 through June 30. Contact the Office of Student Employment (OSE) to find out if you are eligible to work July through August.

Search Career Net for open positions. If you are awarded work-study, you must visit the Office of Student Employment by the first week in October so that your award is not cancelled.
