Financial aid usually includes federally subsidized employment eligibility called Work-Study. Dartmouth students typically work 10-12 hours per week. The money earned is yours to use for out-of-pocket expenses.

Many faculty members have Work-Study research positions available in their labs. The Work-Study Program also encourages community service and there are paid employment service opportunities through Dartmouth and with local organizations.

Some students find jobs that are not part of the Work-Study payroll. Other students prefer to cover out-of-pocket expenses by taking additional loans instead of working during academic terms. This part of your financial aid is completely up to you.

A part-time job can be a great experience even if you are not eligible for Work-Study positions.
