2006-2007 Academic Year

WORK-STUDY PROGRAMS

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. Awards for these programs are made on a first-come-first serve basis. 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 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. 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 will be notified of the procedures to follow 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 Work-Study Coordinator in the Financial Aid Office.
