Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study program provides jobs on or off-campus to eligible undergraduate and graduate students who have received a financial award letter. Students are assigned to a University department or a community service agency for an average of 12 hours per week and paid the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr). Opportunities for jobs in the library include Circulation, Reserve, Special Collections, and other areas.
For more information and to determine your eligibility, view the Federal Work-Study program on the Office of Student Financial Aid.
If you are not eligible for federal work-study, you can still possibly work on campus with earnings paid through departmental or administrative funds. It is your responsibility to check with departments (such as the Dean's Office of Dupré Library) or Career Services for availability.
