Work Study

A work-study program provides part-time jobs for students with demonstrated financial need. It allows you to earn credit to help cover educational expenses through earned credit hours without accumulating debt. 

Whether you are already attending a local institution or exploring options, work-study comes with specific rules, local opportunities, and application steps:

 

How It Works

  • Not a Guarantee: An award on your financial aid package means you are eligible to apply; you must still secure  application and interview,

  • Flexible Hours: Jobs are usually on-campus or with our approved non-profit organization North Idaho Horsmanship Academy, and are designed to work around your schedule (typically capping at 19-20 hours per week).

  • Earnings: You are credited an hourly rate and can use the credit for covering tuition and show expenses.

Internship

Internship programs are structured, short-term work opportunities designed to help students and recent graduates gain practical experience in a specific industry, build professional networks, and bridge the gap between classroom learning and the corporate world. 

Exploring an internship requires identifying your target sector, your career goals, and the program type that fits your needs:

 

1. Types of Programs

  • Unpaid: working for the North Idaho Horsemanship Academy

  • Summer/ Short Term vs. Year-Round / Long Term: Summer internships typically run 10 to 12 weeks, whereas year-round, allow students to work part-time while working outside the program.

2. Eligibility & Application Criteria

While requirements vary by role, standard qualifications include:

  • Enrollment: You typically must be enrolled part-time or full-time in an accredited degree program (High School, Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD).

  • GPA: Many competitive programs require a minimum cumulative GPA, often 3.0 or higher.

  • Commitment: Internships frequently require a minimum 20 to 40-hour weekly commitment. 2.5 year commitment

 

If you want, let me know:

  • Your field of study / major

  • Your current academic level (e.g., undergrad, grad)

  • Whether you are looking for paid summer internships or academic credit opportunities
