Costs and Financial Aid

Student Employment

We offer multiple programs for student employment for students that qualify for each program.

Federal Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study program provides funds to students with a financial need; funds are earned through part-time employment. Under the FWS program, you can earn money for your education by working part-time, on-campus, while you are enrolled in school at least half-time (6 hours) and have unmet need. You will also need to make sure you have a valid FAFSA on file for current Award Year.

Your total FWS award depends on:

  • when you apply
  • your level of financial need
  • your school's funding level
  •  a supervisor's willingness to hire you

Ready To Work and Work and Learn

The Ready To Work and Work and Learn programs are designed to provide single parents on Kentucky State assistance with professional skills that are needed to be successful in the workplace.
