Work Study
A smart way to help pay for your college education and gain work experience.
The work-study program offers HCC students part-time job opportunities with flexible hours and competitive wages that are earned throughout the academic year. The program also provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and marketable skills. Students are paid for hours worked on a semi-monthly basis. The hourly funds earned do not directly reduce the cost of tuition and fees and are not directly credited to the student's account. At the discretion of the student, earnings can be used to pay any outstanding balance to the college. Forward all work-study related questions to collegeworkstudy@howardcc.edu.
