Need a little extra financial help? UA Little Rock’s Trojan Works work study program offers flexible hours for students to help with study-work-life balance.

Trojan Works strives to increase retention by providing financial assistance through professional work and unique experiences that prepare students for success beyond graduation.

“Trojan Works helped me get a paying job on campus,” said Skylar Boone, a Trojan Works student. “Since I didn’t qualify for federal aid, they were able to help me find a job where I could get the experience I would need when I graduate.”

Once hired by Trojan Works, students are paired with a mentor who answers questions about working for UA Little Rock. Mentors help new student workers understand payroll schedules and tax withholdings, while also offering seasoned workers valuable insights into financial literacy

“Trojan Works helped me learn more about the financial side of a job,” said Olivia Osborn, a Trojan Works student. “I’ve had jobs before but this one prepared me for work after graduation.”
