Need a few extra dollars this semester? Got a few extra hours during the week? Why not check out the Work Study Program and if you qualify you might just find yourself working on campus in a college department or with the Fanshawe Student Union.

The purpose of Work Study is to assist students who have financial need and who may be receiving financial aid through OSAP but still require additional assistance. Work study jobs have been created on campus to ensure that students have the resources to meet expenses associated with their education. The added bonus is that these positions also give you valuable experience to add to your resume.

Here's how you get started...you must complete a Work Study application (available online at www.yourmoneydance.com) and follow the steps: Select “Click here to apply for all other bursaries!,” and under Bursary Name, enter Work Study, and hit Search. Review the criteria for the Part Time Work Study program and select Apply. From there, simply log on using your Fanshaweonline user name and password. Provide the information as requested and submit the completed application. Staff in the Financial Aid office will review your application to ascertain your eligibility and provide a written response within 10 business days. When you get your approval letter, come to F2010, Career Services, and ask for the contact information and detailed job descriptions for the positions you wish to apply to.

To qualify, students must be taking at least a 60 per cent course load during the September to April period, have a demonstrated financial need and must be making satisfactory academic progress. While candidates should have been assessed for OSAP and been eligible for assistance some exceptions to students not being eligible for OSAP will be considered.
