Kentucky Resident Scholarship/Grant Information

KHEAA Work-Study

The KHEAA Work-Study Program (KWSP) provides career-related work experiences for eligible Kentucky residents attending approved in-state postsecondary institutions. The jobs are provided by Kentucky employers, at least 75 percent of whom are private entities. The student must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment at least half-time, be making satisfactory academic progress, and not be in default on any financial obligation to KHEAA under any program administered by KHEAA.

Priority for jobs will be given to undergraduates. Students must be paid at least the federal minimum wage. KHEAA pays $2 per hour toward each individual's wages.

The most students can earn from KWSP is the amount equal to the total cost of education minus financial aid received from all other sources.

To apply, contact the KHEAA Work-Study coordinator at the school you attend.
