Work Study Program Policies and Procedures
General Guidelines for the Work Study Program
· The Work Study jobs are part of a financial aid package designed to assist families who have indicated a need for assistance.
· The Business Manager will provide the FACTS Grant & Aid applications for families who desire to apply for Work Study assistance.
· Families need to apply each year to be considered.
· Family members, but not other students or friends, may work to assist the student receiving Work Study assistance.
· The Work Study assistance, as a part of the financial aid package, is a privilege, not a right. Hours not completed by May 31 will be billed to the student’s account.
Procedure for Awarding Work Study Assistance
· Oak Grove Lutheran School makes use of the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment Service to process and determine the amount of financial aid a student is to receive based upon the information that has been provided by the family.
· Mandatory discounts are included in the dollars available for financial assistance.
· Mandatory discounts include:
o Oak Grove sibling discount
o Oak Grove staff member discount
o Concordia staff discount
o Clergy discount
Procedure for Making Work Study Assignments
· Work Study assignments will be coordinated by the Principals, Supervisors, Athletic Director and the Admissions Director.
· Work Study assignments, whenever possible, will FIRST be used to fill Oak Grove’s needs.
· Oak Grove staff will be given an opportunity to make requests for Work Study students to assist them in their respective area.
· After Work Study assistance has been granted, information will be distributed concerning potential job assignments.

Responsibility for Documenting Work Study Hours

· The supervisor in charge will sign off on the form and return it to the Administration Office.
· No credit for hours worked will be given if a form is not submitted.
