State Work Study for Employers is sponsored by Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC). The State Work Study program provides financial aid for low- and middle-income students, allowing them to earn money for their education through approved on- or off-campus jobs. Employers benefit from educated, motivated workers at a lower cost, as the state contributes to the wages of work-study employees.
The program aims to build students' skills, increase their earnings, and reduce reliance on student loans. Many employers hire work-study employees permanently after graduation.
