Whats the difference between “student employment” and “work-study”?
Both are simply jobs that you find to help pay your expenses while attending college. Student employment is a recommendation that you obtain a job to pay for educational expenses that are not covered by other forms of financial aid. Work-study is a federal program that reimburses employers part of the cost of paying student employees. You qualify by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and demonstrating a high level of financial need.
