Compensation

State Side

Student Assistants in Job Codes 1870 (Student Assistant), 1874 (Bridge Student Assistant), and 1868 (Nonresident Alien/International):

Minimum Compensation: $16.00 per hour
Maximum Compensation: $22.00 per hour

Compensation is clearly dictated on open positions listed in Handshake and are determined by the Hiring Manager/MPP/Dean of the Department. Students are only permitted one pay increase per year. 

For the 2023-2024 Academic Year, all students were increased in compensation from a minimum of $15.50 to $16.00. Students who exhibited excellent performance through their documented Performance Evaluations were awarded compensation increases ranging from $.50 to $1.00 per hour. 

Federal Work Study

Your Federal Work-Study earnings will be at least the current federal minimum wage, but they may be higher, depending on the type of work you do, and the skills required. A Federal Work-Study award depends on the availability of funding at the institution, the institution's awarding policies for Federal Work-Study, when you apply, your level of need, and your commitment to obtaining a qualified Federal Work-Study position and performing the work required. 

Typically, Federal Work Study is calculated with two equations:

  • Cost of Attendance(COA) - Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need
  • Financial Need - Other Resources = Maximum FWS Award

ISA

Students interested in applying for an ISA related position (Job Codes 1151 or 1153) should contact Faculty Affairs and Development with any questions regarding compensation.
