Working is a great way to get on-the-job experience and earn money for college at the same time. Davenport University participates in the Federal work-study program. Students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and apply for a job. Employment, just like in the "real world," is not guaranteed. Students need to apply and be interviewed. This is a great way to learn skills that will help in your future career.
The Federal Work-Study Program encourages part-time employment for undergraduate and graduate students who need the income to help with the cost of education.
