The work-study program provides job opportunities for students with financial need. The money earned through a work-study position can be used to help pay educational expenses. Awards range up to $2,000 per year. Work-study awards are paid monthly by check based upon hours worked. The amount indicated on the Award Notification represents the maximum amount a student may earn for a given academic year. Students will only be paid for actual hours worked.
On campus jobs may be located at the main campus, Enka campus, or Madison campus. Job duties vary by position. Currently, the pay rate for on-campus positions is $8.00 per hour.
Off-campus jobs are available through the America Reads tutoring program. Currently, A-B Tech works with several elementary schools and one preschool to assist children with reading skill development. The current pay rate for off-campus positions through the reading tutor program is $8.50 per hour.
To apply for work-study, students need to complete the FAFSA and must be enrolled at least half time. Once a student receives his/her Award Notification indicating that work-study has been awarded, he/she will need to submit a resume for a work-study position. Students should indicate on their resume if they are interested in on campus employment or reading tutor positions off-campus. To submit your resume online as an email attachment, click here. Please note: Receiving an Award Notification indicating that a student has been awarded work-study and submitting a resume does not guarantee the student a work-study position. Placement into a position is contingent on job availability, the student's qualifications, and program funding.
If a position becomes available that the student qualifies for, an Interview Notice will be mailed to the student with instructions on how to complete the interview process. If a position is not available, the student's resume will remain on file in the event that a position may come available.
