CU Avoids Work-Study Cuts
A new study from the University of California at Los Angeles has shown that an increasing number of college freshmen are looking for on-campus employment as a means of financing their college education. The study, conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, found that 29 percent of student respondents would use at least a portion of their earnings from a part-time campus job to pay for tuition expenses, up from 25.8 percent in 2000. An increasing student interest in on-campus employment, though, has not yielded an increase in funds for the federal work-study program, which allocates money to colleges to pay students with financial need for part-time on-campus work. According to a recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, FWS funds decreased this academic year by almost $10 million.
