Federal College Work-Study is a federally funded program that is awarded as part of a need based financial aid package. Eligible students can work from five to twenty hours per week within the university at a pay scale ranging from $7 to $10/hour, subject to taxation. Students receive a monthly paycheck for the hours worked each month;funds are not applied to the tuition bill. Although there is a large work-study program for the university, employment is not guaranteed for every student. If a student has not found a position by September 20 for the fall or February 20 for the spring, then the student forfeits the work-study award for that semester unless the student is actively working with Human Resources to secure a position.
Naropa offers a variety of graduate assistantships, including administrative, teaching and research opportunities. Graduate Assistantships provide an opportunity to gain valuable skills in the student's field while also earning a monthly stipend as well as a scholarship to be used toward tuition.
Assistantship positions available for the 2008-2009 academic year will be posted by the end of February 2008. Please be advised that you can only apply for 3 current assistantship positions at this time.
All assistantships require that students have financial need as exhibited by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or International Financial Aid Application. Interested students should submit a resume and the Graduate Assistant Application Form eletronically to the Financial Aid Office at finaid@naropa.edu.

Naropa Writing Center (NWC) Writing Fellows
Writing Fellowships are awarded each fall to a limited number of graduate students—from all fields of study—who demonstrate advanced writing ability and a commitment to writing education. Though previous experience is desirable, it is not essential, and students who will contribute to the diversity of the NWC are encouraged to apply. Writing Fellows will be paid $10/hour and work about 10 hours a week. Other opportunities will become available to Writing Fellows in subsequent semesters. The deadline to apply for the NWC is May 12.
For information about training, duties, and opportunities please call 303-245-4606.
