Student Employment

Students with financial need are eligible to work under the Federal Work Study Program. These students have the opportunity to seek jobs at various sites on and off campus. The amount each student may earn is determined by the Financial Aid Office in accordance with financial need and can be found on your Financial Aid Notification (FAN). Federal Work Study money is allocated to the University by the federal government and jobs are contingent upon funding. Students working under the University Work Program are also able to work on campus. Once a student finds a job they are added to the University payroll and paid bi-weekly by check.
