Federal Work Study is a federally-funded program that provides financial support for students with a demonstrated financial need. These funds are part of your financial aid award and are to be used for part-time employment. Contact the Caltech Financial Aid Office for specific details about your financial aid award.
Freshmen may be awarded Federal Work Study as part of their financial aid award; however, they may not begin Work-Study employment, or any part-time employment, until second term. All freshmen need to obtain written permission from the Dean or Associate Dean of Students before beginning employment.
The CDC has partnered with monsterTRAK. Work study positions are listed in monsterTRAK.
