Work Scholarship

Transportation, in this program along with in any job you have in the future, is your responsibility. However, if you are having to drive from a long distance you may be able to work out a flexible schedule with your supervisor. For example, if you drive to campus from Winnsboro, instead of driving four days a week and working half day shifts, you may be able to schedule it where you drive here two days a week and work full day shifts. This is just one example and in this case (as any other situation) it will be up to each individual supervisor and should be settled before you start the program.

This will be handled on a case-by-case basis. All absences are either excused or unexcused. Your supervisor has the right to dismiss you from the program for any disciplinary reason, including, but not limited to, unexcused absences. We understand many of the students’ families will be going on vacation in the summer. You are able to miss work for vacation and/or camps (to a reasonable extent). These absences should be worked out with your supervisor in advance. However, if you do miss work for vacation, camps, etc., this work cannot be made up in future weeks. All students are limited to a maximum of 15 hours per week.

No, you do not get to pick your work assignment. You will be given a list of all work assignments and asked to pick your top three choices. We try to put you in an area you are interested in but there are no guarantees.

No. If you are in the program you cannot work in another job at the College. However, some of our students have other jobs in the community that they may continue to work in as long as their schedule permits.

Yes. And, it will be your responsibility to get with your supervisor and make sure you know what that dress code is. 

There are many jobs ranging from work on the farm, housing, athletics, maintenance, lab assistants, library, student services, recruiting, automotive shop, etc.

You cannot drop the Leadership class if you are in the program. However, if you drop out or, are removed from the program, you will be responsible for the cost of the class. You can use scholarship credits to cover this cost.

You do not have to take the whole class your second year in the program, but you will have to report to a class three times during the summer (dates to be determined).

The class meets once a week from 12:30 to 2:00 (on either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). You will be assigned a class meeting day based upon the work assignment you are given.

No. The scholarship credits can ONLY be used toward tuition, fees, and books.
