SPIEP Funding:
- SPIEP Funding involves federal work-study funding and is not a grant.
- Work through a non-profit or government agency qualifies for SPIEP. Employment through a judicial agency does not qualify for funding.
- The receipt of work-study funding during the summer may affect your financial aid allocation for the next academic year. Please consult with financial aid personnel before you submit your completed application to determine the actual impact, if any, of summer work-study funding on your personal situation.
- All recipients must sign a work study contract and submit regular timesheets.
Keep in mind also that timely submission of a completed application is not a guarantee that you will be employed through this program.
What is the amount of funding?
SPIEP Funding - The Financial Aid Office each year establishes the maximum amount a student can earn each summer on a work-study contract. For summer 2009, the maximum is $3500. The maximum may be lower for students enrolled in summer school and/or not working full time. You will be paid by the Law School on an hourly basis at the rate of approximately $10.00 per hour or as otherwise determined by the employing agency. You may begin work under your contract on June 1.
What is the timeline/application deadline?
Please see the Info/Application document for deadlines.
The criteria for application evaluation.
The SPIEP Funding Committee will evaluate each application on a point scale as follows:
One point if the applicant is an upper division student (i.e., has completed the second year day or third year evening or will graduate the following December);
One point if the employer can pay 25% of an applicant's salary, or pays the full 10% of the contract for each student if the employer wishes to hire more than one Loyola student;
One half point if the employer can pay part of the salary less than described in the line above.
From 0 - 5 points on the applicant's personal statement.
