The Financial Aid and Awards Office (FAAO) will be accepting applications from potential employers for Work-Study projects for the 2011–12 academic year as of March 8.

The Work-Study program is designed to assist full-time Concordia students in financial need pursue their academic goals by providing part-time employment on campus. 

The FAAO will subsidize 50% of the labour cost (salary and benefits) of all approved Work-Study projects. Projects ranging between $9.65 and $11.50 per hour will be considered. The maximum allowed for each project is 200 hours per term.

Projects are funded on a first-come, first-served basis. The submission of projects does not guarantee funding.
