This federally funded financial aid program enables students to earn money toward college expenses by working on campus. Students may work up to 20 hours a week while classes are in session. The rate of pay is based on the minimum wage. The money earned must be spent on educational expenses associated with your cost of attending school. Federal work study positions are available at UA Little Rock. Students work in offices, departments, and almost all areas of the campus. Some students work in positions as tutors assisting children in math or reading family literacy activities.
