particular job is based on skills, job availability, university needs,
and student preference. The assigned employment opportunity is based on
an expectation that the student will work between 6 and 20 hours weekly
throughout the fall and spring academic terms. For summer assignments,
students may work as many as 35 hours per week. Off-campus employment,
including paid community service positions and reading tutorial jobs in
elementary schools, also is available. No job assignments are made
until all paperwork required to accept the aid is complete.

Any graduate student enrolled at the university may inquire with
individual academic or administrative offices for available non-FWSP
opportunities. All hiring decisions for non-FWSP jobs are made by the
department.
