HMC still offers the Harvey S. Mudd scholarship, which is 40k distributed throughout 4 years. If you read the page, I’m sure you will see it. We also have work-study on campus, some jobs like Homework Hotline (grade school students call in and ask for help) are strictly work study. There are other jobs like Academic Excellence, Phonathon, Writing Center etc, and of course our Dean of Students office.

For engineering and CS students, there is clinic, which is a year-long company sponsored project for groups of 4. This is not paid, unfortunately, but I imagine it’s a good experience (I haven’t taken clinic yet). Throughout the school year, students can take research for credits or for money.

There are also internships as nemom mentioned. Research doesn’t pay as well as internships in industry, as you can imagine. CS majors tend to get the higher paying jobs (not sure about engineering majors), but often that’s experience related and differs from one company to another.
