Learn more about grants

The federal government provides some funding for students to work and receive a paycheck while they are a college student. Because not all students are eligible for Federal Aid, Covenant provides supplemental funding so that all students can gain useful work experience and build their resumes. You may work for our facilities services department, admissions office, or grounds department, for example.
