Here’s how it works:
- To be considered for a Work-Study position, students must apply for aid through Northern New Mexico College's Financial Aid Office by completing the FAFSA and be enrolled at least half time in an eligible program
- Once the FAFSA is processed, students must meet with the Financial Aid Office to determine eligibility and allowable hours.
- Students who receive a Work-Study financial aid award will be given a list of available positions and the contact information to apply for these openings (these jobs are not available to students without Work-Study).
- When applying for Work-Study positions, students need to show a copy of their award letter and their class schedule for the full semester.
- Students may earn wages up to the amount listed on their financial aid award letter. Work-Study wages do not appear on the student’s college eBill; rather, the student earns a paycheck.
- All time sheets must be submitted on time through the online payroll system, any delay will postpone payment of the current pay period.
- The Financial Aid Office administers the Work-Study program. Award amounts vary, based on eligibility and available funding.
