Work-Study Program

CalWORKs Students

Welcome to the new school year. We hope you enjoyed your summer. The CalWORKs Work-Study Program at LACC is one of the top three programs in California and we are looking forward to another successful year. Please see the application process below for the Work-Study Application Package. Our office has gone green, so please make your own copy of the application. Our office will not distribute hard copies.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Any delays on your part (i.e., missing or unsigned documents, missed appointments or documents submitted after the deadline, etc.) will affect your eligibility to be considered.

Please read carefully through the following application process:

  1. Download the Work-Study Application Package.
  2. Students will submit ALL required application documents. No exceptions! The earlier you turn in your application, the greater chance you have to be accepted into the Work-Study Program.
  3. NOTE: Staff will not hold applications for any students. Students must make their own arrangements to get their application to the office on the deadline date in September.
  4. Students will submit applications to Student Services Building, 3rd Floor (CalWORKs Computer Lab).
  5. Everyone applying, whether a new student or a continuing student, must follow this process.
