Work Study

Federal and Colorado Work Study:
Federal and state funds available to students for part time employment to help offset educational costs.

No-Need Work Study:
State funds available to assist Colorado resident students that are not eligible for need based financial
assistance.

On Campus Work:
In addition to work-study, there are many alternatives for part-time employment. Most leadership positions in student organizations pay 50% to 100% of in-state tuition and fees. These include student groups like the
radio station, school paper, outdoor program, activities council, resident assistant, and student government.

Off Campus Work:
There are also many opportunities to work in a variety of positions around campus. In the community, Grand
Junction is the home of hundreds of businesses. Students may pursue employment opportunities with local businesses to earn extra money and gain work experience in their area of interest.
