TO APPLY:

Candidates must electronically submit an application with a resume and a statement of interest (<300 words) to be considered for a tutoring position.

In order to qualify for the program, you MUST have work study noted as part of your financial aid package. Some undergraduate students (with limited family resources as determined by the results of the FAFSA) qualify for Work Study funds to help offset costs of college. This is a federally-funded opportunity to earn "spending money" through part-time, on-campus employment. Eligibility for work-study does not guarantee you will find a campus job. Contact Financial Services for more information or to see if you qualify at 309-677-3089 or bufinaid@bradley.edu
