Student Employment - Work Study
Student employment (work study) is an excellent opportunity for students to get real workplace experience while also earning money to help with the costs associated with going to college. Unlike other types of financial aid, work study earnings are not applied directly to your tuition and fees.

ATCC student employment positions are funded through either the Federal or State Work Study program.
