What types of work-study are available?
Most Hopkins students work an average of 8 to 10 hours per week at a variety of jobs including clerical, laboratory, library, and athletic. The rate of pay for Federal Work-Study positions is $6.15 per hour and up. A job fair is held during the first week of classes, and a computer database of job openings is available to help students locate jobs. You can visit Student Employment on the Web. Research has shown that working a few hours per week does not hinder the academic performance of most students, and leads to a higher level of satisfaction with life on campus. See our Student Work Opportunities page for details.
