Work-Study

Federal Work-Study Program

This federally funded financial aid program enables students to earn money toward college expenses by working on campus, in the government, or in selected nonprofit agencies serving the community. Students may work up to twenty hours a week while classes are in session and receive a monthly paycheck (based on an hourly wage) that they can use for educational expenses. 

UO Work-Study Program

This University of Oregon-sponsored program provides part-time jobs on campus. Students must be eligible for financial aid and enrolled full time. Students earn an hourly wage based on the type of job and their skills and experience. Students may work a maximum of twenty hours a week while school is in session. Availability of the program is subject to continued funding.

Eligibility

In order for students to be considered for the Federal Work-Study Program, the office must receive an official FAFSA from the federal processor prior to the UO priority deadline of March 1. Both of these programs are awarded based on a pre-established level of student financial need determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
