The Student Employment Services Program provides students, in return for services, wages to assist them in achieving their goal of earning a college degree.

The work program at Eastern Kentucky University has three purposes:

1. It provides employment for eligible students enabling them to earn a portion of their expenses while pursuing a college education.
2. It is a part of the educational process whereby students acquire marketable skills.
3. It provides academically related work experience, which may have vocational value in post college years.

FEDERAL WORK STUDY:

• A Federal needs based work program that determines eligibility through the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) application. Students must be enrolled for a minimum of 6 hours per academic session.
• Students work 10-20 hours per week.
• Students are paid every two weeks with the earnings paid directly to the student. Wages are never automatically paid towards any outstanding EKU bill.

INSTITUTIONAL EMPLOYMENT:

• Any full time, undergraduate student that is not eligible for federal work study, may work in the Institutional employment program.
