Important: Your Federal Work Study positions will not be visible to students until all of these steps have been completed and your job postings have been approved.

We're Recruiting Students - Help Them Find Your Opportunities!

Enrollment Management is actively promoting the Federal Work Study Program by:

• Participating in new student orientations across all colleges
• Marketing opportunities through campus communications
• Working with Financial Aid and other campus partners to increase student awareness

We have students who are becoming eligible and are ready to begin applying. However, if your positions are not posted and approved in JobX, students won't know your opportunities are available.

Complete your department's setup today so you can connect with qualified students and be ready for the start of the new academic year.

For questions or assistance, please contact [email protected] or schedule a one-on-one support session using the booking link above. We look forward to partnering with you to make this a successful year for Federal Work Study!
