What are the advantages of having a workstudy job?
• Workstudy jobs give you experience and references, which you can list on your resume. Also, it provides valuable professional contacts and networking opportunities in your chosen field. • If you file a tax return and claim your workstudy wages, the amount you earn can be deducted from the earnings you are required to claim on your financial aid form next year! • Departments like to hire workstudy students because the workstudy program is paying the majority of your wage for the department – which means less money coming out of the department’s budget for the same amount of labor!
