How do I find out if I am eligible for Federal Work Study?
You can find out more from your financial aid counselor. You can also check your award amount in your JobLink profile.
How do I receive my Federal Work Study award?
Federal Work Study is not a lump sum grant. Federal Work Study is not money to be paid back like loans.
You are eligible to earn up to the dollar amount listed on your financial package over the course of the academic year. You are not guaranteed this money, nor are you required to earn it all. Work Study funds are received in bi-weekly paychecks based on the hourly wage and hours worked.
Can I have more than one job on Work Study?
Yes, but all of the funds are split between jobs.
How many hours can I work per week?
The University recommends undergraduates work no more than 20 hours per week during the academic year. There is no restriction for graduate students and work performed during the summer.
International students are only permitted to work 20 hours per week during the academic year. For more information on working as an international student, please contact ISO.
How do I know if I have completed an I-9?
You can verify that you’ve completed the I-9 by checking your JobLink profile.

I am an international student. Do I need a social security number to work on campus?
International students do not need a social security number (SSN) to start working on campus.
Once a student is hired, they can apply for an SSN. Students should contact ISO with questions.
Why can I not access JobLink?
If you are an incoming first-year or transfer student, you will not have access to JobLink until two weeks before the semester begins.
If you have a change in status (leave of absence, late registration, non-matriculated) you will not have access to JobLink.
Please contact Student Employment if you believe your status is incorrect.
