If you would like a new position posted to hire a work-study student for a part-time job within your department for the fall or spring semesters, submit the Student Employment Job Posting Request Form so your job can be posted in the Handshake job search database for FWS students looking for jobs.

Pay Rate Increase

If your FWS employee is going above and beyond, has increased duties, or has responsibilities that require more experience than their peers, you can submit a Pay Rate Increase Request to request an increase of their hourly wage. Please be aware that increasing hourly pay rate means a student will utilize their FWS allotment more quickly.
