HIEEs Pay
91¶ÌÊÓƵ is committed to providing transformative experiences for all students and creating access to these experiences. The HIEEs Pay program removes barriers for students to participate in high impact educational experiences (HIEEs). These experiences help 91¶ÌÊÓƵ students achieve their educational and professional goals and better prepare them for future opportunities.
Under the HIEEs Pay program, students earn $11.75 an hour and are eligible to earn up to $1500 to participate in these experiences. Once approved, eligible HIEEs Pay students can log hours the first day of the semester and up to the last day of the semester. Hours cannot be logged in between semesters.
