Direct Subsidized Loans are need-based loans and are available to eligible undergraduate students. Repayment of principal is postponed while the student is in school and during a six-month grace period after the student leaves school or drops below half-time status. These loans are made by a lender, such as a bank, credit union or savings and loan association; are insured by a state or nonprofit guarantee agency; and are reinsured by the federal government.
The federal government pays (subsidizes) interest on the borrower's behalf:
Direct Unsubsidized Loans are non-need-based loans and are available to eligible undergraduate and graduate students. Repayment of principal is postponed while the student is in school and during a six-month grace period after the student leaves school or drops below half-time status. The interest on Unsubsidized Direct Loans while the student is in school is the borrower's responsibility to repay. These loans are made by a lender, such as a bank, credit union or savings and loan association; are insured by a state or nonprofit guarantee agency; and are reinsured by the federal government. Additionally, these loans:
Parent PLUS (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students) Loans enable parents to borrow up to the student's cost of attendance minus other aid for each dependent student who is enrolled at least half-time.
PLUS loans do not require that the student demonstrate financial need. However, the combination of PLUS loans and any other aid may not exceed the cost of education for the term of the loan.
Private Education Loans are not state, federal, or institutional aid programs. Instead, they are loan programs specifically tailored for educational expenses by private lenders. Since these programs are created by the lenders themselves, there are often different terms and conditions for receiving them. Interest rates, fees, and maximum loan amounts are among the many factors that may vary from lender to lender. We strongly encourage students to borrow first from the Federal Loan Programs. With the use of a survey process, we developed a recommended lender list, allowing our students to compare Private Alternative Education Loan Lenders.

The Student Employment Program is designed to help undergraduate students meet educational expenses through meaningful employment. Student employment at Webster University is divided into two different programs.
You are eligible for Federal Work-Study if you have done all of the following:
You are eligible to be employed on campus through Federal Work-Study if you have done all the following:
If you are not eligible for a Federal Work-Study award but are interested in working on-campus through Institutional Student Employment, you are eligible to be employed on campus if you have done all the following:
Student Employment is accepting new Community Service Federal Work-Study agreements for the 2021-22 academic year. Please email studentemployment@webster.edu with questions.
Student Employment processes Community Service Federal Work-Study agreements. Please email studentemployment@webster.edu with questions.
Student Employment provides opportunities for students to use their Federal Work-Study award with off-campus employers. The majority of opportunities available are with local nonprofit organizations, who also partake in community service activities.
Federal Criteria for Site Approval - Community services are defined as services that are identified by an institution of higher education through formal or informal consultation with local nonprofit, governmental, and community-based organizations, as designed to improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income individuals, or to solve particular problems related to their needs. These services include:
Community service sites must be approved by the Student Employment Coordinator before they can hire Webster University student employees.
Required Paperwork - The required paperwork must be submitted to Student Employment before the student employee begins working. Your student employee cannot be added to the MyWebster system (and therefore, cannot be paid) until all paperwork is received and processed. Paperwork processing can take up to three business days. Once their information is entered in the system, an email from Student Employment will be generated to the student (and the supervisor copied) with instructions on how to register for the MyWebster portal (ADP). Community service sites may require additional paperwork or background checks as well.
New Hire Orientation - All student workers who have never had a student employment position with Webster University must complete a new hire orientation before they can begin working. Please email studentemployment@webster.edu for information.
Community Service Timecard - The Community Service Timecard must be completed and signed by the student employee and supervisor every pay period. Please reference the Student Employment Payroll Schedule. Timecards are due, with signatures, by 10 a.m. the Monday after the pay period ends. Please be aware that there are early deadlines around holiday breaks. Timecards that are received after the Monday deadline will delay student employee pay. Please email timecards to the Student Employment Department Associate. The Student Employment Coordinator will pick up original timecards at a future date.
Under the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program, AmeriCorps members are eligible to receive up to $6,345 toward their education from AmeriCorps. Webster University will match that award at $150 per credit hour, at a maximum lifetime cap of $5,400. The match can be applied to qualified programs taught online or at any Webster University location.
AmeriCorps is part of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency that engages more than 5 million Americans in service to their communities.
The award will be applied for students earning any master's-level degree (except MS in Nurse Anesthesia).
For more information contact Monica Henson, monicahenson61@webster.edu and 314-246-6987
After you enroll in classes at the St. Louis home campus, you may start applying for student employment positions on-campus or through community service. Many supervisors post available positions on Handshake, Webster University’s online career management and recruiting system. You may also wish to check with individual departments, staff members, and professors for part-time on-campus employment opportunities that are not posted on Handshake.
Once you have accepted employment, you and your supervisor must complete the required paperwork. If interested, students should apply as early as possible over the summer and early fall for these jobs.
Student Employment provides temporary, part-time employment. The Federal Work-Study award is given to meet educational expenses including tuition and fees and cannot provide a sole source of financial support. If you find that you are unable to meet your educational and living expenses, contact your Financial Aid Counselor for possible alternatives.
When you are hired, your supervisor should fully explain the job duties, starting pay rate, student rights and responsibilities, and departmental policies. You should arrange a satisfactory work schedule with your supervisor. If you have Federal Work-Study be sure to consistently work the number of hours that will allow you to earn your entire Federal Work-Study award. Student employees are not entitled to paid vacations, holidays, sick pay, closure pay, or paid leave of absence. Students are paid only for time worked, and changes in work schedule due to illness, vacations, exam schedules, or course requirements should be arranged in advance with the supervisor.
All university employees, including student employees, represent the University to other students, staff, faculty, and the public, and are expected to maintain behavior appropriate to their position. Student employment requires a commitment from the participating student of time, dedication, and enthusiasm. It provides a rewarding and productive experience for the student employee and the employer.

Room and Board Grant assistance is a limited University-funded program which provides assistance to undergraduate students pursuing a first bachelor's degree, who are enrolled for 13 or more credit hours per semester and living in campus housing. This aid program is available to St. Louis campus students only and awards vary depending upon the level of a student's unmet need.
This program began with eligible new students in Fall 2016 who planned to live on campus. If a student decides to not live on campus or moves out of campus, eligibility for this grant ends. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Financial Aid Office if they are not living in campus housing so this assistance can be removed. The Financial Aid Office will remove the grant once it is discovered the student is not living in campus housing.
