Find a job
Although UVM has more jobs available than eligible students for the Federal Work Study Program, we do not assign students to positions — students must secure their own. But never fear! There are usually more jobs than there are students to fill them.
To Secure Your Position
The deadline to be reported as a hire is October 1 (in the Fall Term) and February 15* (in the Spring Term)!
To SUCCESSFULLY secure your position please ensure the following has been completed:
Accept your Federal Work Study Award.
Log into the Student Information System to accept your Work Study Award.
Please note: If you are eligible for Federal Work Study, it will be included in your UVM Financial Aid Award. If you were not awarded Federal Work Study but are interested in working on or near campus, consider contacting UVM Career Services.
