FINANCIAL AID
FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM
 |
- Research shows that students who work while attending college generally have:
- higher grades
- graduate faster
- find jobs more easily after graduation
-
Work study also helps students make connections that will get them through to graduation in a more successful and positive manner.
As a student worker, you can gain experience in your field of study at LRCC or in other areas of personal interest. Hiring departments understand that education is the top priority and are flexible in working around student schedules. For these reasons, as well as the financial benefits, we encourage students to consider employment as an option.
Earnings are paid directly to the student and will NOT be applied to your bill. Student workers are paid by the hour and paychecks are distributed on a bi-weekly schedule. A basic award is $600 with students earning these funds at hourly rate of $8—$9 per hour. The award amount may be increase as the year goes on and funding allows.
All students who work on campus are required to complete the I-9 and W-4 forms. These documents will be requested by the financial aid office upon assignment to a department. The forms are also available on the College website “click” here for access for you to print the form.
Once the supervisor agrees to hire a work-study student, the FAO will confirm the position with an “Assignment Form” which needs to be completed by both parties.
Students are enrolled in a bi-weekly payroll system through the State of NH. Timesheets are due every other Thursday as specified by the payroll period schedule.
