Student Work Study Programs

Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work-Study Program provides on-campus employment opportunities for students to work as professional assistants, in the library, in student services, and in many other locations throughout the University. Because it is need-based, eligibility is determined from the FAFSA application. The number of hours per week is determined by the student's award amount, but students may not work over 19.5 hours per week. Pay is based on a sliding scale, but no one receives less than minimum wage. Both graduates and undergraduates may receive Federal Work-Study awards. Students can access a list of employment opportunities online at the Career Services website.

Off-campus Employment

Students can access a list of off-campus employment opportunities online at the Career Services website.

Regular Student Employment

Regular Student Employment is sometimes available through individual departments. These part-time jobs are not related to the need-based awards, and the employing department has considerable latitude in meeting personnel needs. Applications are submitted to the Office of Career Services. Students may not work over 19 hours per week.
