Student Employment may be obtained under the Federal Work Study (FWS) program, and when available employment may be secured under Institutional Work Study.  

The Federal Work Study Program allows students to seek on-campus employment and off campus community service opportunities.  Students must be Federal Work Study eligible to be considered, and job opportunities will be dependent on job availability within campus departments.  Federal Work Study eligibility is determined by completing the FAFSA application.  Students meeting the Federal need requirement (determined by the FAFSA), and maintain a g.p.a of 2.0 or higher may apply for available positions.  In assigning a FWS job, a school must consider the student’s financial need, the number of hours per week the student can work, the period of employment, the anticipated wage rate, and the amount of other assistance available to the student. 

Federal Work Study funds are not considered scholarship or grants, and will not be applied to student accounts or reduce student account balances.  Students are provided a biweekly paycheck which the Department of Education partially provides funding for through the FWS program.  This funding can then assist students in paying for their educational costs.

The Federal Work Study program provides great opportunity for students to obtain on-the-job training and gain employment experience that many employers are looking for.  UNOH student workers are valuable assets to the UNOH community, and are able to gain knowledge and experience in different fields of work.
