Financial Aid Basics - Work-Study

Aims Community College participates in the Federal Work-Study and the Colorado Work-Study programs.  Eligible students can work part-time to earn money to help pay for their education.  The work-study programs encourage community service work and work related to the student’s course of student, whenever possible.  Jobs are available both on and off campus. 

Students employed through the work-study programs earn at least the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is greater.  The amount that can be earned depends on the type of work the student does and the skills required for the position, the amount of the school’s funding level and the amount of the student’s work-study award. 

Work-study employees are paid by the hour on a monthly basis.
