***Do not complete the application until you have read the following***
NOTE: This is NOT an application for employment – it is an application to establish ELIGIBILITY
PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM:
Eligibility for the program does not mean a job is guaranteed!
Students cannot hold more than one CAMPUS position SIMULTANEOUSLY in any given academic year (CWSP, iCanWork, Tutoring)
To be CONSIDERED for participation in Work-Study, a student must:
1. Be a Canadian citizen OR an International Student OR a Second Career Student
2. Be enrolled for the Fall/Winter/Spring term at Canadore College.
3. Be in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.0
4. Have unmet financial need with which the program can reasonably assist, beyond OSAP & other available resources.
HOURS OF WORK:
Students are not scheduled for more than 10 hours per week per semester. All Canadore Work Study students must maintain registration in at least 60% of a full course load in both terms, or 40% with a documented permanent disability. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Financial Aid Office if he/she drops below these levels.
APPROVALS:
Your application will be reviewed and you will be notified of your eligibility status via your e-mail account within 1 week. Once you receive this confirmation, attach a copy of it to your cover letter and resumé and submit it to the supervisor listed on the job posting(s) you are interested in.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
A detailed explanatory letter may be requested if any of the following situations apply to your financial aid information:
- 1.There are special circumstances that limit the support provided by your family or spouse.
- 2.There has been a sudden change in your individual or family situation.
- 3.You are an International or Second Career applicant (ie: starting bank balance, detailed asset information or contract).
Students who apply and are refused by OSAP can apply for Work-Study, but are expected to demonstrate a serious financial need with which the Work Study program can reasonably assist. Students must provide an explanation as to why the assumed resources are unavailable.
Complete the budget (Section 5) for the study period. Students registered for only one term should estimate for four months of expenses.
Married students should indicate total spousal income (after compulsory deductions) for the Study Period under "Family Contribution" on the budget form. Total family expenses should be provided.
