Student Employment

Student Employment — also called "Work-Study" — is a type of financial aid that allows you to earn part of your college expenses by working at an approved student employment job on campus. In order to be eligible for Student Employment, a student must be enrolled fulltime and have documented need according to their Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is calculated by the federal processor based on the information submitted on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Student Employment is offered as a part of a student's total financial aid package. It is intended to assist the student in meeting the cost of education at Western New Mexico University.
