Choice is a powerful part of the work-study program at American University.

American University has developed an "open-market" system where students have the ability to apply and interview for the positions of their choice. If you have received a work study award as a part of your financial aid package, you can choose to work on-campus in a department of interest to you or off-campus in a traditional community service positions or tutor. The America Reads initiative can provide you with the opportunity to become involved in the lives of the area’s youngest students by helping them enhance skills critical to their development.
