Student Work-Study Allowance Program

Work Study is for veterans who are receiving federal education benefits and want to supplement their income further by working, while receiving an education.

ELIGIBILITY:	To be eligible for the work study allowance, a student must be enrolled at a rate of 3/4 time or greater (see below for credit load conversion) under the Montgomery G.I. Bill Active Duty (Chapter 30), Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606), Post-Vietnam Era Veteran's Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 32), Spouses' and Dependents' Program (Chapter 35), or the Vocational Rehabilitation Program (Chapter 31).
WAGE RATE:	The wage rate will be the greater of either the Federal or State minimum wage rate. The good part of work study is that the wages earned are free of federal and state taxes. A work study student can work at a maximum of 25 hours per week. The amount able to work during a given semester is decided by the work study coordinator at the VA. Payment will be 50 hours of wages paid in advance and payments thereafter will be made in increments of 50 hours.
TYPE OF WORK:	Services performed under the VA work study program must be VA related in nature, unless stipulated otherwise by the work study supervisor.
TO APPLY:	For further information or to obtain an application, please contact Keith Suzuki, Work Study Coordinator at (808) 566-1566.
