Workstudy

Work Study vs. Non-Work Study Jobs

Both work study and non-work study programs are administered through the UWSP Student Involvement and Employment Office.

Federal Work Study

A federally funded program for students with demonstrated financial need. Students must complete and return a FASFA each year (applications become available each January at the Financial Aid Office) to be considered for the program.

For the most part, all on-campus positions (with the exception of food service, UC maintenance, and UWSP phonathon callers) may use eligible Work Study students. Additionally, off-campus, non-profit agencies may submit a request for Work Study students to work at their place of employment. All employers pay a portion of the student wages and the federal government pays a portion.

If you are a non-profit agency interested in learning more about the Work Study Program simply email us at sieo@uwsp.edu and we will send you additional information.

Non-Work Study Jobs

These positions total over half of all the positions on-campus and almost 100% of off campus positions. Employers pay 100% of the student wages through this program.

Both employment programs offer great opportunities for campus and community employers to hire exceptional UWSP students!
