Each fiscal year the IRA Advisory Committee allocates Work Study dollars to IRA certified activities/programs. These dollars are derived from the 1/3rd set aside for financial aid.

A call for requests for Work Study funds is issued in the Spring semester to the Dean/Director responsible for IRA activities/programs. The Dean/Director is responsible for disseminating the call for requests to each activity/program director. The IRA Advisory Committee reviews the requests and allocates the funds on a need basis at the beginning of the following fiscal year. IRA Work Study dollars can only be used for students involved in IRA activities/programs. Historically, there is a greater amount of Work Study dollars requested than is available for allocation. IRA Work Study dollars do not roll over from one fiscal year to the next.

Please use the Work Study Funding Request (PDF) form to submit your request in the Spring.
