Work-Study awards are issued on the assumption that students will use the allocated amount throughout the entire Academic Year or Summer Program, but supervisors should discuss with students the duration of employment, as well as whether they will have multiple Work-Study jobs.
Monitoring Work-Study Award Levels
It is the responsibility of both the supervisor and the student to ensure that the student does not exceed his or her Work-Study award amount. Work Study Balance information is available to students through their BU Works Fiori Application. As balances near zero, students and supervisors will also receive an email notification.
Work-Study Award Amount Reached
Students who have reached their Work-Study award amount are no longer eligible to work on the Work-Study program. Supervisors may opt, however, to continue employing such students by paying them through departmental funds.
Direct students who wish to appeal for more Work-Study funding to the Appeal Form if open for the current program period (Academic Year or Summer).
