Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP).
Federal work-study
employment may be offered as a portion of the financial aid award.
Application for this program is made by filing the FAFSA. On-campus
jobs are available in many departments. Selection for a particular job
is based on the applicant`s skills, job availability, university needs,
and student preference. In assigning students jobs, the program assumes
a student will work between 6 and 20 hours a week during the fall and
spring semesters. For summer assignments, students may work as many as
35 hours a week.
Off-campus employment is available. These jobs are paid community-service positions in nonprofit agencies.
No job assignments will be made until financial aid requirements are
met. Any change in work-study jobs must be made through the Student
Employment/Office of Financial Aid.
Other University Employment. 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.
Job Location and Development (JLD) Program. The
JLD Program is open to all students enrolled in the university. Most
employment opportunities are located outside the university in local
businesses. Information about jobs is available online at
