Our work-study programs provide part-time employment in community
service areas, reading and math tutor programs, or the various
departments of the University to undergraduate and graduate
students. All awards for these programs are tentative pending the awarded student being hired and submitting a signed Work-study Agreement while funds are still available.
If your financial aid award includes an offer of Federal, State or Non-need Work-study, you may work up to 19.5 hours a week to earn up to the full amount of your Work-study award. You will be paid twice monthly for the actual hours worked. The award amount indicated on the Award Letter is a maximum eligibility to earn, and FWS awards do not credit to your student account.
Receiving a Work-study award is not a guaranty of employment. Available jobs will be posted through the Office of Career
Services. Directions for obtaining a job through the work-study
program can be found on the UT Tyler Career Services website. Funds and jobs for
this program are limited. Students interested in the work-study
program should request consideration before accepting student
loan offers.
The work-study program includes need-based funding from federal and
state sources. In addition,
the Working to Success program also includes a non-need based
element which will provide work-study assistance for students who
would not normally qualify for work-study due to either a lack of financial
need or exhausted need based funding. Federal and state work-study
programs require at least half-time enrollment while the Working to
Success Program requires full-time enrollment.
Students who are interested in the work-study program must complete
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to be eligible for consideration
under all programs. Students who are awarded work-study may contact UT Tyler Career Services to secure employment. Pay rates
are set by the employing departments and are based on job functions
and skill levels. Work-study employees may work up to 19.5 hours per
week throughout the semester. For any questions concerning workstudy
contact the Financial Aid Office.
