What are the work-study opportunities at American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Med?

A paid job, an internship or clinical placement, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program at participating institutions; eligibility does not itself place a student in a job, and wages are earned through work rather than deducted automatically from tuition.

Students interested in employment should ask the financial aid office whether their program and enrollment status qualify for Work-Study and ask the relevant program office how clinic duties are classified and compensated. A required supervised clinical experience should not be treated as paid employment unless its terms expressly say so.
