Employment

---

This program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students who need financial aid. Students are paid at least minimum wage and work between 5 and 20 hours per week when school is in session. During periods of non-enrollment, eligible students may work full time. A portion of the earnings from non-enrollment periods is used to meet the student's academic year expenses and, therefore, may reduce a student's need for other assistance.

A portion of USI's Federal Work Study funds are devoted to support student participation in community service organizations. Organizations USI collaborates with are the Boy Scouts of America, Central Child Care, the Raintree Council of Girl Scouts, Indiana Legal Services, the Salvation Army, and the American Red Cross.

Students may apply for the FWS program by completing the FAFSA and indicating Work Study as a type of aid requested on both the FAFSA and the USI Financial Aid Data Form. Preferred filing deadlines should be observed to ensure consideration of the student for these limited funds. For more information on Federal Work Study, see FWS: Frequently Asked Questions

In addition to Federal Work Study, the University employs some students as part-time employees. Contact the Career Services and Placement Office in the Orr Center for information about non-Work Study student employment both on and off campus.
