About The Program
The Luther R. Palmer, Jr. Work Study Program allows four students to work for the PFA Foundation a maximum of 40 hours per month (10 hours per week). Student employees will have this unique opportunity as long as their grades are not affected. The student’s earned compensation will be applied to their monthly bill by the 10th of the following month. Student workers will be employed in a safe and comfortable environment where they will always be treated and compensated fairly.
Our mission is to provide work opportunities for Pine Forge Academy students that help off-set the cost of education while providing students with valuable work experience that is becoming increasingly important in today’s global economy.
Our goal is to help student’s find employment that not only adds substantial value to PFA Foundation operations, but substantial value to each student’s personal and professional development.
Let’s support our students who are eager to help with financing their education!
