Student Employment Programs at Purdue University
Purdue University offers two student work programs - Federal Work-Study (FWS) and Job Location and Development (JLD). FWS helps students pay for educational costs through part-time employment, while JLD provides off-campus job opportunities without financial need or academic standing requirements. Student employees work around 10-15 hours per week, balancing work and education to potentially improve their grades. Eligibility for FWS requires filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
