Have you been awarded work study this year or do you expect to be awarded work study for 2025-2026?

NOTE: This is not required to be hired for these positions.

Even if you are not awarded work study initially, it is often possible to obtain work-study after you are hired for a position, especially if you are an in-state Colorado student, because Colorado offers "No-need Work Study" which is not based on family data.
