Student Guide

If you desire to work on campus, you must have a “funding source”
or an account from which to be paid. There are three funding sources available to you. Please read each award explanation and determine which path applies to your eligibility or interests.

• Federal Work Study Award: This is an award granted to you quarterly, based on eligibility, by completing the FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Student Aid) and the accompanying Green River Financial Aid Application. For more information about this award please see the guide.
  
  See the current financial aid announcements.
  
  You can take your award and apply for any open position on/off campus that proves to be a good fit for both you and a supervisor. The student payroll coordinator, located in LSC-231, extension 2453, has a list of available jobs.

• Work Grant Award: The financial aid director allocates each division an annual award of student program funds to be used to hire students to assist faculty/staff in that particular division. The division chair knows the yearly allotment and awards students throughout the year at the request of his/her faculty/staff. You do not have to be financial aid eligible to be awarded Work Grant funds, only skill eligible. Work Grant funds will be awarded at the discretion of the division chair only. For more information about this award please see the guide.

• Institutional Work Study: The financial aid director has a small pool of funds and can award a “position”, not a particular student, to a division/department based on available funding, request and need. Institutional Work Study funds will be awarded at the discretion of the financial aid director only. For more information about this award please see the guide.
