Work Study Overview

The goal of work study programs is to promote student employment opportunities for students who desire job experience and to assist those students who need earnings to help meet educational expenses.  There are currently two work study programs:

• Federal College Work Study Program
  • The Federal College Work Study Program provides employers a federal subsidy of 75% for all eligible earnings. 
  • The remaining 25% of student earnings is borne by hiring departments.


• Duke Work Study Program (Undergraduates only)
  • The Duke Work Study Program provides employers an institutional subsidy of 50% for all eligible earnings. 
  • The remaining 50% of student earnings is borne by hiring departments.
