Offered Federal Work Study funds? You may be eligible to work in a variety of on-campus student employment opportunities. While these funds will not credit toward the amount due to the University, you can earn these funds to pay for personal expenses throughout the year. You can accept this award, along with federal loans, through your CaneLink account.
