Student Employment Programs

Federal Work-Study Funds
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program is a Title IV financial aid initiative that offers part-time employment opportunities to students who demonstrate financial need. Eligible students may work up to 25 hours per week during the regular semester, depending on financial need, class schedule, and availability of federal funds. In compliance with federal regulations, at least 7% of HCC’s annual FWS allocation supports community service positions.

Priority consideration is given to students who submit the FAFSA and have a completed financial aid application by March 1. For more information, contact Financial Aid Services.

HCC Institutional Work-Study Funds
The HCC Institutional Work-Study program is funded by the college and offers both on-campus and off-campus part-time employment opportunities. This program is open to all students, regardless of financial need. Students may work up to 25 hours per week during the semester, based on their class schedule and the availability of institutional funds.

Priority is given to students who complete the Student Employment Participation Interest Agreement found within Self Service. For more information, please contact Financial Aid Services.
