Yes, Employment is a Form of Financial Aid.
Work-Study
You may receive federal work-study as part of your financial aid package. Work-study awards allow you to participate actively in meeting the cost of your education while gaining valuable work experience.
- You receive work-study money directly, it is not applied to your tuition bill.
- Most work-study jobs average 10 hours per week.
- Work-study earnings are paid monthly and are adjusted for federal taxes.
A one-day job fair is held during fall orientation before semester classes begin. If you have been awarded work-study you can meet with prospective campus employers.

Student Employment
You can work on campus even if you do not receive work-study, though work-study students have preference in those jobs designated as work-study positions. And not all departments hire non-work-study students. But rest assured that you'll find many opportunities for employment at Capital or in the immediate campus area.
Direct Deposit
Direct deposit is mandatory for all student workers at Capital. Along with tax and forms, student workers will need to complete the Direct Deposit Authorization form (PDF). If you have any questions, contact the Student Payroll Office at 236-6575
Types of On-Campus Jobs
