Resources contributed by students and parents


Federal Work-Study Program

This program provides an award for potential employment for undergraduate and graduate students as part of their aid packages. Federal work-study is awarded based on financial need. If a student doesn’t qualify for Federal work-study, you can also check with the financial aid office to see if other student employment opportunities may be available.

College Savings

You should begin planning early for college attendance. Family resources are the best means of funding your college education. Your family might use a combination of savings bonds, 529 plans, education IRAs, personal savings, home equity loans, and current income to contribute toward college expenses.
 
States are also stepping in to provide the means for families to start saving early for college by offering programs that are exempt from federal income tax and allow for grandparents or even family friends to contribute. For more information about the College Savings Plans Network or the National Association of State Treasurers, visit www.collegesavings.org.
