Federal Work-Study
Student Employment is an important source of financial aid for students. At Hondros College Nursing, the Work Study Program provides meaningful work experiences that develop desired attitudes and habits through varied job experiences resulting in self-confidence and self-sufficiency. The work experience is intended to compliment the students’ educational process and to enhance future employment.
Whenever possible the work experience is related to the students’ educational program and career objectives. Student employment not only accommodates students’ needs, but also provides services necessary to the daily operation of the College.
The Work Study Program provides employment opportunities on campus and at approved off-site locations. Work Study employment is federally funded, and positions are on a first come first served basis. You can initially earn up to $9,000 for an award period, pay rate varies based on position.
