Work-Study Program

The Resurrection College Prep Work-Study Program offers students the ability earn additional financial aid by cleaning classrooms after school. Students are awarded $7.50 per day that they clean. Generally, the students work approximately 45 minutes per day. Their tuition accounts are credited with the aid at the end of the first and second semesters. Preference will be given to freshman and sophomore students since they usually cannot find jobs in the workplace. Applications are due by July 31.
