Work-Study Positions

Some campus jobs are designated as work-study positions. The job description might include a statement such as: “position open only to St. Edward’s students who qualify for work-study awards.” Work-study awards are part of federal financial aid packages and are only available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. F-1/J-1 students are not eligible for a work-study position and should not apply.
