During the 2021 Work Study program, students will participate in the program for six to eight weeks while residing in private rooms in a common house at the Folk School. During the eight-week sessions they work four weeks and take weeklong classes for four weeks.
Students in the six-week session will work for three weeks and take weeklong classes for three weeks.
Both sessions are also eligible to take weekend classes on a space-available basis.
Work Studies receive room and board during their stay and have access to the full range of classes listed in the catalog with tuition covered (note: materials fees are specific to each class and are the responsibility of the student).
Local Work Study students within a short commute may choose to stay off campus and will receive the same meals as on-campus students.
We are currently accepting applications for the following sessions:
2021 Work Study Sessions
Session 1: April 25 - June 18, 2021
Session 2: June 20 - August 13, 2021
Session 3: August 15 - October 8, 2021
Session 4: October 10 - November 19, 2021
The deadline to apply for all sessions is March 15, 2021. Work Study students may share duties on the Garden and Grounds Crew and Services Support. The Garden and Grounds Crew works mostly outdoors on the gardens and grounds and may include other duties requiring weekend work.
Services Support consists of focused work to benefit the dining hall, registration, or programming staff to support operational and safety guidelines associated with COVID-19.
Work Study participants must be in good physical condition and be able to perform occasional strenuous tasks in a variety of weather conditions.
