Local, state, tribal and federal government agencies, and 501-C3 non-profit organizations may be eligible to participate. Click here to view eligibility information. Non-profit organizations must submit IRS documentation to the College of Law, verifying their tax-exempt status.

Per contractual agreement, the student will be considered your employee. Employee-related expenses, such as worker’s compensation, social security, holiday pay, etc., are not reimbursable.

The number of hours per week a student may work depends on your needs, student schedules and total number of hours each student is authorized to work (based on a calculation of the student's financial need).

You will pay the student’s wages up front. Upon receipt of monthly time records and invoices, we will reimburse a portion of the hourly wage up to a preauthorized amount. Reimbursement occurs monthly, as you submit your time records and invoices.

You will be contacted concerning your final approval and number of work study positions which are allotted to your agency.  Work study funding is not guaranteed.
