New Student Work Opportunities: Funding After-School Educational Programs.

This law expands the Federal Work-Study Program, allowing college students to earn money by working in educational after-school activities for younger students. The goal is to increase the availability of academic support and enrichment programs, particularly in public schools serving low-income communities. This provides students with more job options and offers subsidized staffing for vital educational services.
Key points
College students can now use Work-Study funds to work in educational programs held after school, before school, or during vacations.
The law prioritizes placing students in public schools and facilities serving low-income communities.
The federal government may cover more than 75% of the student's wages, potentially increasing the number of available Work-Study positions.
