What is Duke Work-Study?
Students who have received Duke Work-Study will have 50% of their earnings subsidized by institutional funds. Employers who hire Duke Work-Study students are responsible for 50% of the student’s earnings until the student’s allocation is utilized in full. Participating non-profit agencies pay the student in full and send in Reimbursement Forms to receive their reimbursement. Once a student has earned all of his or her allocation, the employer must fund 100% of the student’s earnings if he or she continues to work. It is the employer’s responsibility to monitor the student’s earnings so that the student does not exceed his or her allocation. A student’s work-study allocation may change during the year; it is the student’s responsibility to notify his or her employer if such a change occurs.
