National Work-Study Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how students in South Korea can earn higher hourly wages through on-campus or institutional work-study positions.
The National Work-Study Program allows students to earn money through part-time positions at their university or other designated institutions.
Who it's for
This program is designed for students who have a demonstrated financial need and are looking for employment opportunities on-campus or at specific approved locations.
What you get
You receive an hourly wage for the work you perform. This pay rate is typically higher than the standard minimum wage.
What it costs you
While there is no monetary fee to apply, the selection process is competitive. Because there are a limited number of spots available, you must go through a formal application process to be chosen.
The catch to know
There is a strict limit on how much you can work; you are only allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week during the semester.
How to apply
- Check your eligibility based on your financial need and student status.
- Look for open positions at your university or designated institutions.
- Submit your application through the official student aid channels.
- Monitor your status during the competitive selection period.
