Student Employement Programs
These programs help students earn part of their college expenses while attending school. To be considered for the majority of student employment funds, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Federal College Work-Study Program is a federally funded program designed to help provide employment for qualified students who demonstrate a financial need as determined by the FAFSA. These are on-campus jobs that are located on the Carson City, Fallon and Douglas campuses. The hours worked are arranged around the student's class schedule, not to exceed 20 hours per week.

Nevada Student Employment Program is a state-funded program based on financial need as determined by the FAFSA. Students must be a Nevada resident and enrolled at least half-time. Like federal work-study, these are on-campus jobs that are located on the Carson City, Fallon and Douglas campuses. The hours worked are arranged around the student's class schedule, not to exceed 20 hours per week.

WNC Access Employment Program is a Nevada access employment program for students who have demonstrated financial need as determined by the FAFSA and are designed to help provide employment for qualified students who demonstrate a financial need. These are on-campus jobs that are located on the Carson City, Fallon and Douglas campuses. The hours worked are arranged around the student's class schedule, not to exceed 20 hours per week.

Regents Award Program is another state funded program based on criteria established by the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents. To be eligible, Nevada residents must be enrolled at least half-time and able to say yes to at least one of the following criteria:

• Head of household.
• Single parent who has never attended college or has had a break in enrollment of two years or more.
• First person in their immediate family to pursue a certificate or degree beyond high school.
• Not receiving support from parents or family.
• Have unusual financial circumstances.

WNC uses the funds from this program to support literacy by providing reading tutors to the elementary schools within our service area. These tutors provide individual and group tutoring at the elementary schools.

General Improvement Program work positions are funded by the state to support WNC operations. Eligibility is normally restricted to students who are enrolled full-time and making satisfactory academic progress. This type of funding is limited and work programs do not have to demonstrate financial need.

How Do I Apply for a Job?
For on-campus or tutoring positions, complete a Student Employment Application (PDF), turn it in to the Financial Assistance Office, and schedule an appointment with the Student Employment coordinator. For off-campus positions, apply directly with the employer or contact person shown on the job listing.
