Federal Work Study

The Federal Work Study Program provides funds for jobs to undergraduate students with financial need. The program encourages community service work and work related to each student’s course of study. The Federal Work Study Program is need-based and requires a completed financial aid application on file with the University. Contact your Financial Aid Counselor to determine if you are eligible for Federal Work Study funds.

Wages for Federal Work Study positions are subsidized by the federal government. Most Federal Work Study positions are on campus, however, there are some off-campus opportunities with America Reads.

Institutional

For students not receiving a Federal Work Study award, some University offices have institutional jobs available. Wages for institutional jobs are fully paid for by the University. These are on-campus positions only.

Private Vendors

On-campus private vendors such as ARAMARK and the Bookstore hire independently and are not paid through the University or affiliated with the Work Study Program.
