Federal (FWS) and State (CWS) Need-Based College Work-Study Programs

CCA participates in two work-study programs with award amounts based on the applicant’s documented need. These programs provide part time employment for the eligible student to earn money to fund their education. To be considered for work-study awards, students must indicate on the FAFSA the he or she wants student employment.

Work-study positions are located on both the CCA Centre-Tech Campus and Lowry campus.

Positions are also available to tutor math and reading to elementary, middle and high school students at various community schools and non-profit community agencies.

To the extent practical, CCA will attempt to provide employment that complements and reinforces the educational and vocational career goals of each student. Students’ earnings are restricted to the amount of their award.

Colorado No-Need Work-Study Program (CONN)

The State of Colorado provides limited funds for employment of students who do not necessarily have a financial need. Applicants must be Colorado residents for tuition purposes. Students’ earnings are restricted to the amount of their award. Students should submit a work study application, available at the CCA Financial Aid Office.
